Context
RSUs are a form of deferred compensation that convert into shares (or their cash equivalent) when vesting conditions are met. In this case, the RSUs were payable upon the director’s retirement and converted/settled on his retirement date. Such retirement or plan‑driven settlements are routine corporate compensation events and do not directly signal a market view the way an open‑market purchase might.
