Context
RSU grants to outside directors are routine compensation and are non‑cash awards that become company stock only as they vest. Such awards are different from open‑market purchases (which can signal buying conviction) and from option exercises followed by immediate sales. This Form 4 reports the grant (acquisition code A), not a purchase or sale of existing shares.
