Context

Director stock awards for non‑management retainer fees are routine compensation and are typically not a direct signal of personal trading sentiment. Because Harris elected to defer the shares into a deferred compensation plan, the award was credited to that plan rather than indicating an immediate buy or sale in the open market.
