Context
These awards are compensatory grants that vest over time (three annual installments) and therefore represent future compensation contingent on continued service rather than an immediate purchase or sale of freely tradable shares. Derivative awards noted are subject to the vesting schedule (see F3); there is no indication in this Form 4 that shares were sold or that any cashless exercise occurred.
