Context
These awards are equity compensation (not cash purchases) intended for retention and incentive. Time‑based RSUs vest on set dates; performance RSUs only vest if specified goals are met (F2 could fail to vest if goals aren’t achieved, whereas F3 was already earned and now vests over the listed schedule). Such grants are common for executives and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell decision in the open market.
