Context

• The filing shows awards that were immediately disposed. Immediate disposition of award shares commonly reflects a sale (often to cover tax withholding or as part of a distribution), but the Form 4 alone does not state the reason. Because Batten is a reported 10% owner rather than an executive-only filing, this is ownership-level institutional reporting rather than a routine executive open-market buy signal. Purchases typically carry more direct bullish implication than awards followed by disposition.
