Context
RSU grants to non-employee directors are routine compensation and typically vest over time under the company’s plan; they are not the same as an outright market purchase and do not necessarily signal the director is buying or selling based on private company views. Retail investors should treat director compensation grants as part of governance/compensation practices rather than a direct market sentiment indicator.
