Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation; they do not represent immediate stock ownership until they vest and are settled (typically into shares). The short‑term RSUs will vest quickly (60 days) and could result in share issuance soon after vesting; the other RSUs vest over multiple years. This filing reports compensation awards (not purchases or sales) and therefore should be interpreted as remuneration rather than a direct insider buy/sell signal.
