Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and are not immediate purchases or sales; they convert to shares (or cash) only as they vest, so this is not an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal. For investors, note potential future dilution when RSUs are settled and that the timing of vesting (2027–2029) determines when the CEO will actually receive shares or cash.
