Context
DRSUs represent the economic value of shares but typically convert to shares or cash only upon vesting (and may be subject to tax withholding). The option units will require exercise according to their terms to result in actual shares. Because these are compensation grants, they reflect company pay practices rather than an immediate buy/sell signal by the insider.
