Context
These are compensation awards (not an open-market buy or sale). Notional Stock Units are typically cash-settled; Performance Share Units are conditional and pay out based on future performance over a multi-year period. Such grants reflect compensation arrangements rather than immediate changes in voting stock ownership or direct market sentiment.
