Monitor the December 10 annual meeting for any last-minute activist or dissident activity, though none is currently disclosed. The significant increase in CEO/CFO cash bonuses and equity awards may draw shareholder attention at the meeting, but no say-on-pay vote is on the ballot. Watch for any subsequent 8-K regarding permit milestones at Grassy Mountain or Sleeper projects, which trigger vesting of performance-based RSUs.
