Context RSUs are deferred-compensation awards that convert to shares only if vesting conditions are met; they are a routine form of executive pay and do not by themselves signal a buy or sell decision by the insider. The performance condition (positive operating income for the relevant prior year) means vesting depends on the company meeting that metric in future reporting periods.
