Context

• RSU grants are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales. They do not require an immediate cash outlay and only convert to shares (and become tradable) upon vesting per the stated schedule.
• Such awards are common for directors as part of compensation; they should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct bullish purchase by the insider.
