Context
Dividend-equivalent units are a form of compensation tied to restricted stock units and are not a market purchase or sale — they reflect accrued dividends and will vest/settle according to the RSU agreement. Such awards are common for executives and directors and do not, by themselves, indicate a buy/sell trading signal.
