Context
These are deferred-compensation awards (common share equivalents) rather than immediate stock ownership. They generally become payable only when the director leaves service, so they do not represent tradable shares on the date granted. Such derivative awards are routine for board compensation and should be interpreted differently than open-market purchases or sales.
