Context
These events are awards/vesting activity — routine for executives and directors receiving compensation through RSUs. Such vesting/conversion increases insider-held shares but is not an open-market purchase (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal). The new RSU grant is time‑based and will only convert to shares if it vests next year.
