Context
- RSU grants are a form of equity compensation and do not require cash outlay by the insider; the reported $0 simply reflects that these are awards rather than market purchases. The economic value to the insider will depend on Snap’s share price as the RSUs vest. Such grants are commonly used for retention and incentive purposes and do not, by themselves, indicate insider selling or buying sentiment.
