How many Beyond Meat (BYND) shares are covered by Wallander’s RSU grant?

The grant covers 152,555 restricted stock units tied to Beyond Meat common stock. Each RSU represents one share deliverable at settlement, so the award reflects 152,555 shares of potential future ownership, subject to vesting conditions and his continued service with the company.

When do Raphael Wallander’s BYND RSUs vest?

Did Wallander buy Beyond Meat (BYND) shares in the market with this Form 4?
