Context
Director Deferred Stock Units are a non-cash compensation mechanism: although fully vested, they are rights to future shares rather than immediately issued stock. Because shares are issued only upon termination of board service, this grant does not reflect an immediate buy or sell and is generally routine director compensation rather than a direct trading signal.
