Context
RSUs are compensation awards (not open-market purchases or sales). They are a common form of executive pay and do not by themselves indicate the insider is buying or selling stock; value is realized only as units vest and are settled. The grants include dividend-equivalent units that vest on the same schedule as the underlying RSUs.
