Context

• This is a compensation grant (RSUs) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; such awards are routinely used for director compensation and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s buying or selling sentiment.
• The RSUs become actual shares only upon vesting and continued service; they are not immediately liquid shares.
