Context

• RSUs are a common form of compensation for directors and typically vest over time (here, generally one year). They do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale of shares and therefore are not a direct buy/sell signal by themselves.
• For investors, awards like this are routine compensation; they should be interpreted differently than open‑market purchases, which may more directly signal personal conviction.
