Context

GSUs/DEUs are deferred equity awards that convert into Class C shares as they vest; these are not open-market purchases or sales and require continued employment to vest. Awards reported at $0 reflect grant/acquisition accounting on the Form 4, not the market value of the underlying shares. Such awards are routine compensation and do not by themselves imply a buying or selling decision in the open market.
