Context
This was a compensation/retention-type award (deferred stock units), not an open-market purchase or sale. Deferred units typically convert into shares (or equivalent value) at a later date or upon separation, so this grant does not indicate an immediate change in Hepner’s tradable holdings or a direct buy/sell signal.
