Context RSUs are a deferred-compensation derivative: they convert to common shares only when they vest (here, cliff vesting on 11/1/2026) and are typically not tradable beforehand. Grants to directors as part of annual director fees are routine compensation and do not necessarily indicate immediate insider buying or selling intent.
