Context

• This was a compensation grant, not a purchase or sale. RSU awards are commonly used to retain executives; shares are only issued (and may be taxable) when RSUs vest and are settled. This type of award does not necessarily signal immediate insider bullishness or a change in ownership until vesting occurs.
