Context
RSU awards to directors are commonly used as compensation and do not represent an immediate purchase — the shares are restricted until they vest and may be forfeited if conditions aren’t met. For investors, such grants show compensation alignment with shareholders but are not the same signal as an insider buying stock on the open market.
