Context
Restricted stock units are a form of compensation that typically convert to shares upon vesting and are subject to forfeiture if vesting conditions aren’t met. This award reflects director compensation rather than an open-market purchase or sale, and does not itself indicate whether the director buys or sells shares in the market.
