Context
RSUs are a common form of equity compensation for directors and executives; a $0.00 price indicates an award, not a market purchase. Because these RSUs are subject to time‑based service vesting (and deferral), they do not represent immediately tradable shares and should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct bullish insider purchase.
