Context

• RSU grants are common director/executive compensation and do not involve an immediate cash outlay or market purchase; they convert to shares only if vesting conditions are met. Such grants are routine and should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct bullish purchase signal, though they increase potential future share dilution when settled. Monitor future Form 4s to see if/when the RSUs vest and whether any resulting shares are sold.
