Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director received equity compensation, modestly increasing direct ownership.

Board service compensation of $78.16 per share for 1,728 unrestricted shares aligns director pay with shareholder interests by providing equity rather than cash. The award increases direct holdings to 17,621 shares, which can strengthen alignment with long-term performance.

The main dependencies are the company’s equity-compensation policy and vesting (not specified). Monitor subsequent filings for vesting terms or sales activity over the next 12 months to see if the award remains as long-term alignment.
