Context RSUs are a common form of executive compensation that convert to shares as they vest; they are not an immediate market buy or sell. Such grants are routine compensation and do not by themselves indicate insider buying or selling intent. Compliance with Rule 16b-3 provides the usual exemption from short-swing profit recovery for these types of compensatory awards.
