Context
RSU grants are a routine form of executive compensation and do not involve an open-market purchase or sale. They vest according to the company’s award terms and only convert into shares (and potential taxable value) upon settlement. Such awards are informative for understanding compensation but do not, by themselves, signal an insider buying or selling shares in the market.
