Context
RSU grants are compensation-like awards that do not require an immediate cash outlay; their economic value depends on the stock price at vesting. As a 10% owner, Lopresti is a significant holder — this filing documents an ownership-increasing grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Retail investors should view this as an awarded grant (not necessarily a direct bullish market signal) and watch future Form 4s for vesting conversions or subsequent sales.
