Context Equity awards to directors are commonly part of compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. Such grants can vest over time and therefore do not by themselves indicate a director's short-term market sentiment. For retail investors, outright purchases or sales by insiders tend to be more directly informative about conviction; awards are primarily compensation-related.
