Context
RSU awards to outside directors are a common part of director compensation and do not necessarily signal insider buying or selling intent. The immediate vesting portion is already convertible into common shares (and typically taxable as income when vested), while the 2027 tranche is a retention-style award that requires continued service to vest. The filing shows the mechanics of the grants but does not indicate any open-market purchases or sales.
