Context
RSUs are a form of compensation that convert into shares if and when they vest; they are not an immediate cash purchase and do not necessarily indicate direct buying or selling intent. Grants to directors are common as part of board compensation and, while they increase potential future share supply, they are primarily a remuneration mechanism rather than a direct market signal.
