Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation that typically convert to shares if and when they vest; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase and therefore are less directly indicative of trading sentiment than outright buys or sells.
• Dividend reinvestment can increase RSU counts over time; vesting tied to board service means these units are linked to continued (or cessation of) service rather than a market-timed trade.
