Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation that do not require payment by the insider and generally vest over time; they do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. For retail investors, awards signal management compensation/retention practices but are not a direct bullish or bearish trading signal. The shares will become taxable and count as owned only as they vest according to the stated schedule.
