Context
- These phantom units are cash‑settled awards — the director did not sell existing common units on the open market. Cash settlement is common for deferred compensation and does not necessarily signal a change in his view of the company.
- For investors, purchases are generally more informative than routine cash settlements; this filing documents compensation and payout mechanics rather than an investment decision.
