Context This was a restricted-share grant as director compensation, not an open-market purchase or sale. Such grants are common for directors and typically vest over time; they do not by themselves indicate the director buying or selling stock in the market. The shares are subject to vesting (May 1, 2027) before the director has full ownership and potential ability to sell.
