Context Restricted stock units are a common form of executive compensation that convert to shares only upon vesting and typically cannot be sold until they vest; this award does not represent an immediate purchase or sale. Awards signal compensation/retention actions rather than direct insider buying or selling, so they should be interpreted differently than open-market purchases.
