Context
RSU grants are common executive compensation and are typically time‑based retention incentives rather than immediate purchases. Because these RSUs are unvested and vest over three years, they do not represent shares currently tradable by the CFO. The filing shows an award rather than a purchase or sale, so it signals compensation policy more than a direct insider market view.
