Context RSU grants are a common form of executive/director compensation and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. Because these are contingent units that vest later, they do not indicate an immediate sale or purchase of stock; they convert to shares only upon vesting (or other terms specified by the company). This report is informational about compensation-related awards rather than a market trade.
