Context This was a scheduled vesting of compensation-related restricted stock, not a market purchase or sale. Such vesting increases the insider's directly held shares but does not by itself indicate a buy/sell decision in the market. The filing documents remaining unvested tranches and potential accelerated vesting on a change of control.
