Context
Grants recorded at $0.00 are typically compensation or incentive awards (e.g., restricted stock/RSUs) and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. Such awards are routine for directors and employees and should be viewed as compensation-related disclosures rather than a direct buy/sell signal.
