Context
- These filings record a grant of RSUs that vested and a conversion/exercise of derivative units. The reported $0 values and the footnotes indicate these awards were credited to a deferred compensation plan and are not the same as a cash purchase or a market sale by the insider. Deferred payouts will occur per the plan (200 days after termination of board service).
