- F2: Dividend equivalent rights accrue with dividends and vest proportionately with the RSUs.
- F3: The RSUs are fully vested, but actual delivery of shares will occur on the 5th anniversary after the reporting person’s separation from service on the Board.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of compensation for directors and executives. Because these are contingent RSUs (derivative awards) shown at $0 and delivery is deferred until after separation (plus a 5-year post-separation delivery delay), this grant does not result in immediate share ownership or an immediate market transaction. For retail investors, such awards are routine compensation and do not by themselves indicate buy/sell sentiment.
