Context RSU grants are a common form of executive/director compensation intended to align long-term interests with shareholders; because these RSUs vest in the future and no shares were sold or purchased on the open market, the grant does not reflect an immediate trading signal. The economic value to the insider will depend on Accel’s share price at settlement if and when the RSUs vest.
