Context
RSU grants are a form of compensation/retention and do not indicate an immediate buy or sell of stock. These RSUs will convert to actual shares only if/when they vest and are settled; until then they are contingent derivative awards. Director deferrals (electing RSUs instead of cash retainers) are a common practice and reflect compensation structuring rather than near-term trading activity.
