Context
Restricted share awards to non‑employee directors are typically compensation for board service and usually vest over time; they are not the same as a market purchase and do not necessarily indicate the director buying or selling based on private information. For retail investors, these grants are a routine way companies compensate directors and should be viewed primarily as compensation, not a direct trading signal.
