Context
RSUs are compensation awards that give the holder a right to receive shares in the future if vesting conditions are met. Because Lipman deferred receipt until he leaves the board, no immediate shares were delivered to him and no open-market trade occurred. Awards are routine director compensation and do not necessarily indicate a buy/sell signal the way open-market purchases or sales might.
