Kratos (KTOS) Director Bradley L. Boyd Exercises RSUs and Sells 10,000 Shares
What Happened
Bradley L. Boyd, a director of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS), received 10,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) that vested and were converted into 10,000 shares, and those shares were disposed the same day. The RSU award shows an acquisition cost of $0 (typical for RSU conversions); the Form 4 records the subsequent disposition with $0 reported in the excerpt provided.

Context
RSUs convert to shares at no purchase price (hence $0 acquisition). When converted shares are disposed the same day, that often reflects sell-to-cover for taxes or an immediate sale, but the Form 4 excerpt here does not detail the reason or proceeds. This sequence is an award vesting and conversion followed by disposition — not an open-market purchase, so it should not be read as an insider buy signal.
