Context
RSU grants to directors are a common form of compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. Because these RSUs vest based on continued service (up to one year or the next annual meeting), they reflect compensation rather than an immediate investment conviction. Note the later filing date may trigger follow-up or corrective reporting; it does not change the nature of the award.
