Context

• These were restricted stock awards (compensation), not open-market purchases or sales. Vesting schedules mean the shares are subject to forfeiture until vesting dates and do not represent immediate market trades. Such grants are common executive compensation and should be interpreted as compensation actions rather than a direct signal of insider buying or selling.
