Context
RSUs and option-style derivative grants to directors are a common form of compensation and retention. RSUs convert to ordinary shares on the vesting date and typically trigger ordinary‑income tax for the recipient at vesting; options become exercisable per their terms. These awards do not represent an outlay by the insider now and are not sales — they reflect company compensation, not an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.
