Context
These are compensation grants (derivative awards) rather than purchases or sales; options give the right to buy shares subject to a vesting schedule, and RSUs convert to shares upon settlement after vesting. Such awards are routine for executives and reflect company compensation, not immediate insider buying or selling.
