Context

• This was an award via dividend reinvestment (an administrative issuance), not an open-market purchase or a sale. Such dividend reinvestment awards typically reflect plan mechanics rather than a direct trading decision by the insider. The $0 acquisition price simply reflects that dividends were converted into restricted shares rather than paid in cash.
