Context
- RSUs are a promise to deliver shares if vesting/service conditions are met; the option-like award vests monthly over three years. Neither award involved an immediate exercise or sale of shares — they are forward-looking compensation. Such grants are common for executives and reflect compensation structure rather than direct insider buying or selling activity.
