Context

• This was a compensation grant (RSUs), not a market purchase or sale. RSUs are a form of deferred equity compensation and do not result in immediate common stock ownership until they vest or are issued. Such awards are routine for executives/directors and are not by themselves a direct signal of market trading intent.
