Context
RSUs are compensation awards that convert into shares only upon vesting; they are not open-market purchases or immediate sales. Such grants are common for executive pay and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling intent in the market. Investors who track insider activity often weigh grants alongside vesting schedules and total insider holdings.
