Context This filing documents compensation and deferral mechanics for a non‑management director rather than a market purchase or sale. The conversion/vesting and new RSU grant involve no immediate cash and are being deferred for future payment (stock or cash) per the director’s deferral election. Such filings are common for director compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate trading sentiment.
