Context
RSU grants are a common form of director/executive compensation; they do not create immediate tradable shares until they vest and are settled. A $0 grant price for RSUs is typical because the award represents a future right to shares rather than an outright purchase. This filing documents the award, not a market purchase or sale, so it should not be read as an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.
