Context RSU grants are routine long-term compensation designed to retain and align executives with shareholder value; they are not the same as a stock purchase (which may signal conviction) or an immediate sale. Because these awards vest over time, their economic benefit depends on continued service and future vesting dates rather than immediate market transactions.
