Context RSUs are a form of compensation that convert into shares if and when vesting conditions are met; they do not represent an open-market purchase or sale and therefore are not a direct bullish/bearish trading signal. For investors, this is routine director compensation tied to service and meeting-timing conditions rather than an immediate change in market exposure.
