Context RSU grants to directors are a routine form of compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase (which some investors view as a stronger bullish signal). Because these are time-vested RSUs, they are not immediately tradable common shares; they will convert to shares only if and when the cliff vesting condition (11/01/2026) is met.
