Context RSUs are a common form of equity compensation for directors and do not represent immediately vested shares or a cash purchase — they convert to shares only if vesting conditions are met. Such awards align director compensation with shareholder outcomes but are not the same signal as an open‑market buy or sale. This reported award may eventually increase outstanding shares if and when the RSUs vest and are settled.
