Context
RSU grants are compensation and retention tools, not open-market purchases or sales. They do not immediately transfer shares or cash value until vesting and settlement occur; therefore they are different from a purchase (bullish signal) or sale (liquidity event). The filing documents the award and vesting conditions; it does not indicate any immediate buying or selling of shares by the CFO.
