They will convert into actual shares only if specified performance criteria are met during the three-year performance period and Gingras remains employed; the final payout could be as low as 0 or as high as 250% of the 2,889 target units (~0 to 7,222.5 shares). Such grants are common for retention and performance incentive purposes and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent.
