Context

• Code A denotes an acquisition/award rather than an option exercise or open-market purchase. Here, the award effectively funded an open-market purchase required by the director compensation policy.
• Awards or compensation-financed purchases are common for non-employee directors and are generally intended to align directors’ interests with shareholders; they do not, by themselves, reveal the director’s trading intent.
