Context
- These entries reflect director compensation and deferred compensation elections (conversion of vested RSUs into phantom stock and a standard RSU grant), not open-market buying or selling for cash. Phantom stock is a derivative right to receive shares later and does not represent immediate cash proceeds or an open-market trade. As a reported 10% owner and director, Katz’s actions are largely administrative/compensation-related rather than a straightforward insider purchase or sale.
