Context

• This was a compensation award (not an open-market purchase or sale). RSUs only convert into actual shares when they vest, so this grant does not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. Such awards are typically used for retention and compensation and should be interpreted as a routine executive grant rather than direct insider buying or selling.
