Context

• Restricted stock awards are a common part of director and executive compensation; they vest over time and are not immediate indicators of buying or selling intent. Because these shares are subject to future vesting, they do not provide an immediate market signal one way or the other.
• This filing documents a grant, not an open-market purchase or sale.
