Context
RSU grants are a common form of director/executive compensation designed to align interests with shareholders; they are not the same as an outright purchase and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy or sell signal. Upon vesting, the RSUs convert into shares (or are settled in cash, depending on the plan), which may then be sold or retained.
