Context

• RSU grants are compensation that typically vest over time; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale and do not by themselves indicate insider buying/selling sentiment. Once vested, RSUs convert to shares that can be sold or held. This filing documents a routine equity award to an executive, not an open-market purchase or sale.
