- Director accepted equity (673 RSUs) instead of cash, aligning incentives with shareholders
- RSUs are fully vested at grant, providing immediate economic interest to the director
- Deferred settlement dates (Jan 15, 2031; Jan 15, 2032; Jan 14, 2033) promote long-term ownership
- Settlement in future years delays actual share issuance, which may postpone voting/dilution clarity
- Grant price shown ($31.54) could represent dilution risk when settled if share price differs materially
Insights
Director took equity compensation and deferred settlement into long-dated installments.
The grant of 673 RSUs in lieu of cash shows alignment of the reporting director's compensation with shareholder equity rather than immediate cash payout. The RSUs are fully vested at grant but are subject to deferred settlement, which pushes actual share delivery to 2031–2033, indicating the company and director prefer long-term ownership retention.
This structure preserves director voting and ownership figures today as reported (121,630 shares direct) while delaying dilution from settlement until the stated future dates.
