Context RSU grants are a form of equity compensation and do not represent an open‑market purchase; they vest into shares according to the company’s vesting schedule and may be subject to forfeiture or service conditions. Because this is a compensation award (not a buy or sell), it should be viewed as part of executive/director pay rather than a direct signal of buying or selling conviction.
