Context
RSUs are deferred equity compensation: they convert into shares only as they vest and typically reflect pay/retention incentives rather than immediate buying or selling sentiment. Awards to non‑executive directors are common and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal; they increase potential future share ownership as vesting occurs.
