Context RSU grants are a form of equity compensation and do not reflect an immediate market purchase or sale. The RSUs will convert to actual Vale shares only upon meeting vesting conditions and any settlement terms; they are commonly used for retention and compensation rather than as an explicit signal of insider buying or selling.
