Context Deferred stock units awarded to directors are a common form of compensation and typically do not indicate immediate buying or selling sentiment because they convert to shares only upon settlement (here, after end of service). This was an award rather than a purchase or sale, so it’s primarily a compensation event rather than a direct insider investment signal.
