Context
This was an award (compensation) to a non-employee director, not an open-market purchase or sale. Deferred stock units give the director a future entitlement to stock or cash under the deferred compensation plan; dividend units reflect reinvested dividends on those deferred units. Such grants are routine director compensation and are not direct signals of buying or selling intent.
