Context This was an option grant (compensation award) rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Options give the holder the right to buy shares in the future subject to vesting and exercise terms; the filing does not indicate immediate exercise or sale. Such grants are common for directors as part of compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
