• Footnotes: F1 notes the 94 restricted shares are subject to forfeiture/transfer restrictions until the next annual meeting; F2 clarifies the 94 restricted shares plus 414 common shares.

Context
Restricted stock awards to directors are a common form of compensation and are not an open-market purchase (so they’re not a direct bullish vote via buying). Because the shares carry transfer/forfeiture restrictions until the next annual meeting, they are not immediately tradable by the insider. This filing documents compensation-related ownership rather than a sale or option exercise.
