Context RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; they do not represent an immediate open-market purchase or sale of stock. For investors, grants signal executive/director compensation and retention mechanisms rather than a direct buy or sell decision about the company’s stock. Vesting (here one year) and any tax-withholding practices will determine when and how many underlying shares are delivered.
