Context RSUs are time-based awards that convert to shares only after vesting (here, three years), while the LTIP portion depends on future performance goals. Such grants are common components of executive compensation and do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. The late filing may trigger SEC attention or disclosure questions but does not change the nature of the award itself.
