Context
Grants to non-employee directors are routine compensation and do not by themselves indicate the director is making a personal cash investment or signaling near-term views on the stock. The $0.00 acquisition price on Form 4 reflects an awarded grant; the filing shows its market value by using the closing share price on the grant date.
