Context
- These grants are standard equity compensation for executives and are subject to service-based vesting; they do not represent an immediate purchase of publicly traded shares. RSUs convert to actual shares only when they vest; option-style awards must vest before they can be exercised. Such awards can dilute shareholders when settled, but they are a routine part of executive pay and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
