- Transaction type/code: Award (A) — restricted stock units (RSUs).
- Quantity and price: 6,500 RSUs; grant price reported $0.00 (typical for RSU awards).
- Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing excerpt.

Context
Director RSU grants are routine compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. RSUs only become actual shares if and when they vest (one year here), at which point tax withholding or other disposition could occur. The economic value of the award depends on SMPL’s share price at vesting; the grant is reported at $0.00 because it’s an award of units rather than a cash purchase.
