Context
RSUs are a common form of compensation for directors and do not represent immediate voting shares until settled. Because the award can be paid in stock or cash and may vest or be paid later, this grant signals compensation alignment but is not a direct market purchase by the insider. No sale, exercise, or 10b5-1 plan was reported in this filing.
