Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. They typically align executive interests with shareholder value but do not, by themselves, signal buying or selling intent because vesting and company compensation policies drive them. The dollar value realized will depend on PLAY’s share price at each vesting date.
