Context

• These are phantom stock units (derivative awards) tied to the company’s stock value and granted under a deferred compensation plan; they are not an immediate cash purchase or sale. Because they are to be settled under the plan (and per the filing may be settled in cash), they do not necessarily represent immediate acquisition of tradable shares. The grant is routine compensation-related action, not a market sale.
