Context

OP Profits Units are a form of derivative/equity compensation tied to the company’s operating partnership and can later become economic exposure to company common stock (either via conversion to partnership common units and redemption for cash or exchange for shares). Grants to directors are commonly part of compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment; they reflect routine equity-based pay that vests over time.
