Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation and only convert to tradable shares if and when they vest, so they are not the same as an open-market purchase or sale. Grants reported at $0 reflect the accounting of an award rather than a cash purchase price. This filing does not indicate a market-direction bet by the insider; it documents compensation and the vesting schedule.
