Context
- These are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales; they generally reflect executive compensation and performance incentives rather than immediate market-driven buying or selling.
- Performance-based RSUs are contingent on stock-price or operational milestones; if those conditions are unmet, the contingent units may not vest.
- For retail investors, awards signal how the company ties executive pay to future performance but do not directly indicate insider buying or selling sentiment.
