Context
RSUs are time‑based awards that convert to shares only if the executive remains employed through the vesting dates. PSUs are contingent on meeting performance targets and therefore may result in 0–200% of the target number of shares. Such awards are standard long‑term incentive compensation and do not by themselves indicate that an insider is buying or selling shares for immediate investment reasons.
