Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director took compensation in shares, increasing ownership to 60,544.291.

The director’s election to receive 461.579 unrestricted shares instead of cash aligns his compensation with shareholder equity, modestly increasing his direct stake. This is a compensation-method disclosure rather than an open-market purchase, so it reflects alignment but not a discretionary buy decision.

The transaction was executed under the Directors Stock Election Plan, which is a routine governance mechanism; the Form 4 shows no derivatives or additional cash outlay.
