Context RSUs are a common form of director compensation and represent a right to receive shares in the future — these units will vest in one year per the filing. Because these are granted awards (not sales or open-market purchases), they reflect compensation rather than an immediate market commitment by the director. The late filing was administrative and was explained in the remarks.
