Context
RSUs are awards that convert into shares only upon vesting; they do not typically represent immediately tradable shares. Grants to nonemployee directors are routine compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate insider buying or selling sentiment. This Form 4 only reports the grant-related change and does not enumerate other holdings the director may have.
