Context

• Dividend equivalent rights are the economic equivalent of shares tied to dividends on deferred or restricted units and are typically settled in stock as part of compensation — they do not represent an open-market purchase or sale by the insider.
• Such awards are routine compensation/deferral mechanics and should not be read as a direct buy/sell signal about the director’s market view.
