Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to common shares if and when vesting conditions are met; they are granted as compensation (not an open-market purchase) and do not imply an immediate cash investment by the insider. Tax withholding or share settlement details (if any) will typically be disclosed when RSUs vest or are delivered.
