Context

• RSU grants are compensation-based awards that vest over time or upon meeting performance/service conditions and do not represent immediate cash investment by the insider. They are not the same as an open‑market purchase or sale and should be viewed as company compensation/retention activity rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
