Context
RSUs are common director/executive compensation and do not transfer actual shares until vesting; they typically create taxable income when they vest (or when shares are delivered), not at grant. This grant is routine compensation rather than an open‑market purchase or sale and should be interpreted as a compensation event, not a direct bullish or bearish trade signal.
