Context Restricted stock grants to directors are a common form of compensation and are typically intended to align director interests with shareholders; because these are awarded, they are not an outright purchase (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal). The grant vests over 2026 subject to conditions in the award agreement, so future vesting events could result in additional reporting.
