Context These are compensation grants (RSUs and stock options), which are common for senior executives and reflect pay structure and future retention incentives rather than immediate buying or selling of shares. RSUs convert to shares upon vesting; options require meeting vesting and (for some tranches) price conditions before becoming exercisable. Such awards do not by themselves signal an insider's view on near‑term stock performance.
