Context
Deferred Stock Units are a form of equity compensation that convert into shares (or equivalent cash/value) after vesting; they are commonly used for director compensation and do not reflect an immediate market purchase or sale. Because this is an awarded, time‑based grant, it is a routine compensation item rather than a direct signal of the insider buying or selling shares today.
