Context
Restricted stock awards are a form of compensation and carry vesting conditions (here, one-year vest). They differ from open-market purchases—awards do not necessarily indicate the insider bought shares on the market. The Form 4 reports the compensatory grant (price $0) but the economic value to the insider depends on Griffon’s stock price at vesting.
