Context

RSU grants are a form of long‑term compensation and do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. Because these RSUs vest over three years and expire on termination, they incentivize continued employment rather than indicating a near‑term trading signal. The reported $0 acquisition price reflects that this was a compensatory grant rather than a cash transaction.
