Context

• RSUs are a form of compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; they involve no immediate cash purchase by the insider. Grants are common for executive/director compensation and do not carry the same market-signaling weight as open-market purchases or sales. This filing reports an award only and should be interpreted as compensation detail, not necessarily an independent bullish or bearish insider trade.
