Context
These awards are compensation/retention grants and do not represent an open-market purchase or sale. RSUs convert to shares only as they vest; the derivative award will vest per its schedule and may require exercise before shares are realized. Awards at grant are recorded at $0 on Form 4 and only create economic value when they vest and/or are exercised and sold.
