Context
Award grants to directors are commonly restricted stock or RSUs that may be subject to vesting and other conditions; the Form 4 here does not specify vesting or restrictions. Such awards are routine compensation for board service and are different from open‑market purchases or sales; they do not by themselves indicate the director is buying or selling shares in the market.
