Context
Deferred stock units are a form of compensation for directors that convert into shares (or cash equivalent) at a later date, so this grant increases future potential equity but does not represent an immediate purchase or sale of common stock. Such awards are routine for non-employee directors and are typically part of standard compensation and retention programs.
