Context
PSUs are compensation awards that convert into company shares only if performance targets are met and any service/vesting conditions lapse; they are not open-market purchases or sales. Such grants reflect compensation outcomes tied to past performance periods and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider’s intent to buy or sell stock.
