Does this Hesai Group Form 4 show any share sales by Kai Sun?

Why is Kai Sun’s 157,000 RSU grant relevant for Hesai Group (HSAI) investors?

The 157,000 RSU grant increases Kai Sun’s incentive to focus on Hesai Group’s long-term performance. Because each restricted share unit converts into a Class B ordinary share upon vesting, his potential ownership grows gradually, aligning compensation with shareholder interests over several years.
