Context
Grants under a director compensation plan are routine forms of pay and do not necessarily signal the director is buying or selling based on a view of the stock; they represent compensation for service. For investors tracking insider activity, awards are informative about executive/director compensation but are different from purchases (which some interpret as a direct personal purchase of stock).
