Context
- These are compensation awards (RSUs and a derivative/option-style grant) that vest over multi-year schedules and are contingent on continued service — they do not represent open-market purchases or immediate sales. Until vesting (and, for options, exercise), they have limited liquidity and do not necessarily indicate a near-term trading intent.
