Context RSU grants are compensation awards, not open-market purchases or sales. They give the recipient the right to receive shares only after vesting conditions are met, so they do not represent immediately liquid stock. Such awards are common for executives and are meant to align incentives with long-term company performance; they are not direct signals to buy or sell the stock.
