  • Similar filings are common across publicly traded companies, such as those by executives at Blackstone (BX) or Apollo Global Management (APO), when they trade their company's stock.
  • The vesting schedule of RSUs, with tranches vesting over multiple years, is a typical incentive structure used by many companies to retain key employees.
