Context
This was a compensation grant (award) — common for executive pay — not a market purchase or sale. RSUs will vest in the future per the plan schedule and the performance shares reflect achievement of company targets; such awards are routine elements of executive compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider buying or selling stock in the open market.
