Context

• RSU awards and dividend-equivalent RSUs are typically compensation or dividend-related adjustments and do not represent an open-market purchase (so they are not a direct bullish signal like an insider buy).
• Because this was a derivative award (RSUs), the economic exposure is tied to future conversion/vesting terms described in the footnote rather than an immediate share purchase.
