Context RSUs are compensation grants that convert into common shares only when they vest; they do not reflect an immediate purchase or sale of stock. For investors, such awards are routine executive compensation and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision. Taxes and any withholding that may occur will typically be handled at vesting, not at grant.
