Context

• RSU grants are a form of compensation and do not involve an immediate cash outlay or sale; the economic benefit occurs only as RSUs vest and are settled for shares (and typically taxed at vesting). Such awards are routine for employee compensation and do not alone indicate insider buying or selling intent.
