Context
This was a grant of equity compensation (a derivative option award), not a market buy or sale. Such awards give the recipient the right to obtain shares subject to vesting and exercise terms; they are common executive/director compensation tools and do not by themselves represent an immediate purchase or sale of stock. The late filing is noted in the Form 4 remarks and affects transparency on timing but is described as administrative in origin.
