Context Equity awards to directors typically reflect board compensation (e.g., restricted stock or RSUs) and are recorded at $0.00 in the Form 4 when granted; they do not necessarily indicate an open‑market purchase or a change in market sentiment. The late filing may reduce the timely disclosure value for investors, though the transaction itself is routine director compensation.
