Context
RSUs are compensation awards that convert into shares only when they vest; they are not an immediate buy or sale and therefore do not directly signal a near-term trading view by the insider. Such grants are common for employee retention and compensation. This Form 4 reports the award promptly (within the usual reporting window).
