Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Director received fully vested equity in lieu of cash; voting and dividend rights retained.

The disclosure shows routine director compensation converted to common stock, which aligns director pay with shareholder outcomes by granting voting and dividend rights immediately. This avoids vesting contingencies and gives the director immediate economic interest and governance influence at the disclosed ownership level. The use of a power of attorney to sign the Form 4 is procedural and documented in the filing.
