Context These are compensation awards (RSUs) rather than market purchases or sales; they become shares only if and when the RSUs vest according to the stated schedules.

(The Form 4 was filed four days after the grant date; Form 4s are typically required within two business days, so check the filing for any timeliness disclosures.)
