Context
- GSUs are a form of deferred equity: they do not immediately create tradable shares until vested and converted to Class C stock. Grants to directors are routine compensation and do not necessarily signal an immediate bullish or bearish view; they reflect standard board pay subject to continued service and vesting. Watch upcoming vesting dates for when shares may be issued and potentially sold.
