Context
This was a compensatory stock award tied to director service, not a market purchase or sale—such awards reflect board compensation and are typically subject to deferred distribution/vesting terms (here, five annual installments after termination). Dividend-reinvested shares are routine and exempt from the usual concurrent reporting requirements; they don’t necessarily indicate a change in trading intent.
