Context
Common stock units granted to directors are typically part of routine compensation and may be subject to vesting or settlement terms (e.g., conversion to shares or cash later). Such awards are compensation events and do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent; purchases (direct buys) generally carry more weight for assessing insider conviction.
