Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to actual shares only when they vest; they are not an immediate market purchase and do not signal a direct cash investment by the insider. Such grants are common for executives and reflect compensation/retention arrangements rather than contemporaneous buying or selling activity.
