Context

• This is a compensation grant, not an open-market purchase or sale; such awards are common for executive pay and retention. RSUs vest over time, so the economic benefit is realized only as units settle into shares according to the vesting schedule. This filing does not by itself indicate insider sentiment about the company's stock price.
