Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Director received routine stock-based retainer and RSUs with one-year vesting; aligns compensation with shareholder interests.

The filing documents a common governance practice: a director elected cash retainer converted into equity and received a supplemental RSU premium. The election converted $19,188 into 1,437 restricted shares at $13.35 per share, with 720 shares withheld for taxes and 431 RSUs issued (30% premium). Vesting is time-based on the first anniversary and conditioned on continued service and no termination for cause, which supports director retention and alignment without immediate cash outlay by the company.
