Context
- These are company grants of compensation‑related equity (time‑based and performance‑based RSUs, plus dividend equivalents and related options), not purchases or sales. Such awards are common as executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate an immediate buy or sell signal.
- Performance RSUs (PBRSUs) may convert to shares only if performance targets are met at the end of the stated performance periods; vesting schedules and dividend equivalents determine when and how many shares may ultimately be delivered.
