Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert into shares only upon vesting; they do not represent immediately tradable shares at grant. Such awards are commonly used for director and executive compensation and do not by themselves signal buying or selling intent.
• To estimate monetary value, multiply the number of RSUs by Lightwave Logic's current market price per share—this value is not provided in the Form 4.
