Context RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to shares (or cash equivalent) when they vest; they are not an open‑market purchase and do not indicate the director bought shares with personal funds. The economic benefit to the insider (and any tax withholding) will generally occur at vesting. For investors, grants are common compensation actions and should be interpreted differently than purchases or sales.
