Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation and do not represent an open‑market purchase or sale. They become actual shares only if and when they vest (per the three-date schedule above), at which point the executive may receive shares or be subject to withholding. Such awards are common for executives and are typically intended for retention and alignment with shareholder interests rather than signaling immediate trading intent.
