Context
Restricted stock awards are a common form of director compensation and typically vest over time or upon a corporate event. Such grants are not purchases or sales and do not by themselves indicate an insider’s short-term market sentiment. They become economically meaningful as they vest and the holder can sell or retain the shares.
