Context

RSU grants are awards, not open-market purchases or sales; they do not reflect an immediate cash transaction and only convert to ordinary shares if and when they vest. Grants to spouses are commonly used for compensation or estate/tax planning and are reported with a beneficial-ownership disclaimer; they should not be interpreted as immediate buying or selling activity.
