Context RSU grants are a form of compensation and become actual shares only as they vest; they are not an immediate purchase or sale. The economic value of these RSUs will depend on AAOI’s stock price at each vesting date. This filing reports the grant itself and does not by itself indicate insider buying or selling sentiment.
