Context
RSUs are derivative equity awards that become actual shares if and when they vest—here, after one year—so this grant does not immediately increase outstanding common shares. Grants to non-employee directors are commonly part of routine compensation and should be interpreted as an award rather than a directional buy or sell of the stock.
