Context

RSUs are a form of deferred compensation: they convert into common shares (or cash equivalent) only if and when they vest under the stated schedule. The $0.00 price on the Form 4 reflects how the award is reported (a derivative grant), not the market value of Canadian Solar shares. Grants to executives or officers are common and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell signal.
