Context
- These are compensation/retention awards (not open-market purchases or sales). RSUs are rights to receive shares upon vesting; the 900k award follows a common executive vesting schedule (one-year cliff then monthly vesting). Such grants are typical for newly hired or retained executives and do not by themselves indicate current buying or selling sentiment.
