Context
These entries reflect equity compensation (restricted stock and an option grant) under Kiora’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan and generally align with standard executive compensation practices tying awards to future service/vesting. Because these are grants (not purchases or sales), they do not represent an immediate cash investment or disposition by the insider.
