Context RSU grants are a form of compensation that convert to shares if/when they vest; they do not reflect an immediate purchase or sale of stock and often carry multi‑year vesting conditions. For retail investors, such awards indicate executive compensation alignment with shareholder value over time but are not direct signals of the insider buying or selling shares on the open market.
