Context RSUs represent a contingent right to receive one share per unit at settlement; SARs pay the appreciation in the stock price (a derivative). These grants are standard executive compensation and do not represent an immediate cash outlay or open‑market purchase/sale. For retail investors, awards show management is being compensated with equity-linked incentives but do not by themselves signal buying or selling intent.
