Context
These were awards/grants tied to the IPO (an acquisition of equity), not open-market purchases or sales. The priced share issuance ($21 each) represents immediate issuance with a reported value (~$8.0M); the RSUs are derivative awards that convert to common shares only if and as they vest. Such grants are common for senior executives as part of IPO compensation and include vesting restrictions that limit immediate liquidity.
