Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive compensation and are restricted until they vest; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale. Upon vesting the RSUs convert to actual shares (subject to any plan rules or withholding), at which point the insider would hold the underlying stock. This filing documents the grant itself and does not, by itself, indicate buying or selling pressure.
