Context This was a compensation-related RSU award (derivative) for a board member rather than a market purchase or sale. Such awards are common for non-employee directors and reflect compensation timing/vesting rules; they do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. The RSUs convert 1-for-1 to common shares and appear to be subject to deferred payout terms tied to termination of service.
