Context
RSU awards are compensation, not open-market purchases or sales. Because these RSUs are deferred and convert one-for-one into common stock only upon termination or a change in control, they do not represent immediate liquidity or share ownership for trading purposes. Dividend reinvestment increases the RSU count but follows the same deferred settlement schedule.
