Context RSU grants are a form of compensation that converts to shares when vesting conditions are met; they do not represent an immediate purchase or sale and typically signal retention/compensation rather than a direct market view. Because these units vest at the next annual meeting, they may convert into common shares on that date if vesting conditions are satisfied.
