• Security/amount: 565 RSUs granted; reported acquisition price $0.00; transaction classified as derivative (award).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing details.

Context
RSU grants to directors are typically part of compensation and do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale. These RSUs will convert to common shares only upon vesting according to the company’s plan terms; until vested, they are restricted and not freely tradable. This transaction is a compensatory award and should be interpreted as a grant of equity rather than a direct buy or sell signal.
