Context
Restricted stock units are a form of compensation that convert to shares when they vest; they do not require the insider to buy shares with cash. Such grants are common for directors and employees and represent potential future ownership rather than an immediate market purchase. This filing reports the grant itself and does not indicate any sale or immediate transfer of shares.
