  • Relevant footnotes:
    • F1: Dividend equivalents convert into common stock one-for-one.
    • F2–F4: These dividend equivalents are tied to restricted stock units (RSUs) with staged vesting schedules (one set vested 1/3 on Mar 1, 2025 then 1/12 quarterly; another vested 1/3 on Mar 1, 2026 then 1/12 quarterly; another vests 1/12 quarterly beginning Jun 1, 2026).

Context
These entries reflect the conversion of accrued dividend equivalents into shares that vest per the RSU schedules—routine compensation/settlement activity—rather than an outright market purchase or sale. Such dividend-equivalent conversions are common and do not necessarily signal a change in insider sentiment about the stock.
