Context These are deferred-compensation “phantom” unit awards commonly granted to directors as part of board pay; they are not open-market purchases or sales and do not necessarily reflect buying or selling sentiment. As derivative awards, they typically convert to shares (or cash equivalent) per the plan and the director’s payment elections.
