Context
These are equity compensation grants to a director (not an open‑market purchase or sale). RSUs and non‑vested options are common compensation and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling of shares. The option has a multi‑year vesting schedule, so any future shares received will be subject to vesting terms.
