Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation and do not represent an immediate cash transaction; value is realized only as the RSUs vest (and if/when shares are sold). Such awards are common for executive compensation and should be interpreted as part of pay/retention programs rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
