Context Awards to directors are commonly part of compensation plans and represent an acquisition of shares rather than a new cash outlay by the insider. Such grants are routine and do not necessarily signal a personal buy/sell decision; purchases by insiders are typically considered more informative about sentiment than compensation awards.
