Context

Restricted stock units are a form of compensation that convert to shares only after vesting; they generally do not convey immediate voting rights and can be forfeited if vesting conditions aren’t met. Grants to directors are common as part of compensation packages and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision by the insider.
