Context
Deferred stock units (DSUs) are a common form of director compensation and generally convert to shares after service ends, so this award reflects routine compensation rather than an immediate market purchase or sale. Because the units are derivative and settle later, there was no immediate change in tradable shares held by the director at grant time.
