Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to actual shares only upon vesting; they are common for directors and executives as part of pay/retention programs. Because this is an award rather than a purchase or sale, it does not directly signal buying or selling intent by the insider. Taxes or share-withholding may apply when RSUs vest, which could lead to future reported share movements.
