Context
The May 13 activity shows a conversion/exercise event followed by an equal-day disposal of those shares, which effectively results in a sale of the converted shares. The May 14 entry is a forward-looking RSU grant that does not immediately deliver shares until vesting conditions are met. These filings are factual disclosures of transactions and awards and do not, by themselves, indicate the director’s intent or view of the company.
