Context RSUs are a form of compensation that convert to shares (or are settled in cash) only as they vest; they do not represent immediately tradable shares. Such grants are routine for executive compensation and reflect company pay practices rather than a direct buy/sell market signal. Tax withholding or settlement mechanics may apply when the RSUs vest.
