If the stocks were acquired as part of an employee equity compensation program that grants RSUs, where stocks are granted and then vest at a later date, does this change the answer? If not, is the purchase price (and therefore cost basis) that of the grant or vest date? Thank you!

I acquired stock in a single company prior to moving to the UK. Now, as a UK resident, I sold some of that stock. What is the cost basis I should use when calculating the sharepool value? A concrete example: I purchased 5 stock units in Company A for $10 each prior to moving to the UK. 1) I read somewhere that the cost basis is set to 0 for stocks acquired while not a UK tax resident. Is that correct, or should I use the purchase price ($10)? 2) If I use the purchase price, what exchange rate should I use - that of the date of acquisition or of sale? Thank you!
