Context RSU grants to directors are a common form of compensation and do not represent immediate share ownership or a market purchase — they convert to stock (or cash) only upon settlement and vesting. Such awards are routine and should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct buy/sell signal; purchases tend to be more informative about insider sentiment.
