Context
RSU grants are a standard form of executive compensation and only become actual shares when they vest; performance RSUs require both achievement of targets and continued employment before vesting. Awards aren’t the same signal as open‑market purchases or sales — they reflect compensation decisions rather than the insider buying or selling stock.
