By law that is not a conflict of interest. When they state it could present an ethics problem, they implied that their roles could lead to potential insider trading and influential decision making which then could lead to ethics issue and a conflict of interest. This is very common in the US. Take for instance, if a guy is married to an executive at Moderna. The guy can own Moderna stock and not have any conflict of interest but there is a potential for an ethics violation, leading to a conflict of interest / insider trading, if the Moderna exec were to tell her husband that Moderna was on the verge of getting approval for their covid-19 vaccine and the guy subsequently buys 2,500 shares of Moderna stock.
