Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and reflect future entitlement to company shares upon vesting; they do not represent an immediate cash transaction or open-market trade. Because these awards vest over multiple years, they are generally viewed as long-term compensation alignment rather than a near-term trading signal.
