Context Fully-vested restricted stock means the director received ownership of the shares outright (subject to usual insider-sale restrictions), and no cash was exchanged — this is a compensation award rather than an open-market purchase or sale. Director grants like this are a common form of board compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s view of the company’s near-term prospects.
