Context

• This was a compensation award of restricted stock, common for directors and employees; it is not an open-market purchase or sale. Such grants reflect compensation/retention practices and do not necessarily indicate the insider’s personal buying or selling sentiment. The $0.00 price on the Form 4 is a reporting convention for granted restricted shares and does not mean the shares lack value.
