Context RSUs are compensation awards that convert into one share of common stock per RSU upon vesting; they are not open-market purchases or sales and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. This grant increases potential future share issuance as RSUs vest, with a small portion already vested and deliverable to the director and the remainder scheduled to vest through May 2027.
