Context

• These awards are director compensation (restricted shares and deferred stock units). Restricted shares vest after one year; deferred units are vested but will be converted to shares per the director deferred compensation plan. Such grants are routine forms of non-cash compensation and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent.
