Context

• These entries reflect director compensation and deferral elections (awards converted to deferred stock units), not purchases or public sales. Such grants and deferrals are common for non-employee directors and do not necessarily indicate trading sentiment. The derivative/“exercise or conversion” line reflects conversion/settlement of RSUs into stock and immediate deferral under the company plan, not a cashless market sale.
