Context
Director RSU grants are routine compensation and do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale; shares (or value) will be realized only upon vesting per the schedule above. Because this is an award rather than a purchase or sale, it should be viewed as part of regular director pay rather than a direct signal of trading sentiment.
