Context

• RSUs are deferred compensation: they do not deliver shares immediately but give the holder the right to receive shares on the vesting/settlement date (here, six years after grant). This is a routine long-term incentive award to an executive and is exempt under Rule 16b-3, so it does not imply immediate trading intent.
