Context
- RSU grants are common executive compensation and do not represent an immediate purchase or sale; value is realized only as units vest and convert to shares (or as otherwise settled).
- Because this is a grant, it does not by itself indicate buying pressure or a decision to sell shares; it reflects compensation awarded to the executive.
