Context
These were compensation awards (restricted stock and option grants) rather than purchases or sales. The options (derivative awards) are subject to multi-year vesting schedules and were not exercised; restricted shares also vest over time. Such grants are common for retention and compensation and do not alone indicate insider sentiment about near-term stock moves.
