Context

• RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale; the awards convert to actual shares only as they vest (subject to service). Such grants can dilute existing shareholders when shares are issued upon vesting and are primarily a retention/compensation mechanism rather than a direct signal of buying or selling intent.
