Context
RSU grants are a common form of director compensation and do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale. The recipient receives the economic benefit only if and when the RSUs vest (and then typically convert to shares or are settled per plan terms). This award is informational about compensation, not necessarily a market signal of insider buying or selling.
