Context
This was a compensation grant (deferred stock units) to a director rather than an open-market purchase or sale. DSUs are a form of deferred equity compensation—they don’t represent immediately tradable shares and are typically delivered at a future date or upon departure, so they are not the same as an immediate insider purchase or sale.
