Context
Restricted stock units are a common form of executive compensation that vest over time; they do not represent an immediate sale or purchase. Because these are time-vesting RSUs (one-quarter per year starting Feb 25, 2027), they generally aim to retain and align the executive with shareholder interests rather than signal near-term buying or selling intent.
