Was the KLIC director’s 407-share award an open-market stock purchase?

No, the 407 shares were a grant, not an open-market purchase. The filing labels the transaction with code A for a grant or award, and a footnote explains it is a quarterly stock grant under the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan at a price of $0.0000 per share.
