Context
DSUs are a common form of director compensation and are not an open-market purchase or sale — they defer economic exposure until the director leaves the board. Because this is an award (derivative) and not a purchase or sale, it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than a direct insider signal to buy or sell stock.
