Galsim Marco 4

What Happened

Context

RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert to actual shares as they vest; no cash purchase was made by the insider at grant. Such awards are routine for executive compensation and do not carry the same market signal as an open-market purchase. Taxes or withholding may apply when RSUs vest and are settled.
