• Vesting: RSUs vest quarterly over three years; first quarterly vesting occurs on March 31, 2026 (see footnote F1).

Context
RSUs are a common form of executive compensation intended to align management with shareholders; they are not an open-market purchase or sale and do not by themselves signal a buy/sell view. Because these units vest over time, their economic value to the executive depends on future vesting dates and Rigel’s stock price at those times.
