Context

• These are standard equity compensation awards used to align executive incentive with shareholder value; they do not represent an open-market purchase (which many investors view as a stronger bullish signal). The derivative grants are subject to multi-year vesting schedules and employment conditions, so they vest over time rather than creating immediate transferable shares.
