Context RSUs are a form of compensation that convert into shares upon vesting; no cash purchase was made and this transaction does not represent a sale. For retail investors, vested RSUs are routine compensation for insiders and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. The conversion (derivative exercise) simply reflects settlement of the RSUs into common stock.
