Context

These credits reflect dividend equivalents being converted to stock units under director deferral programs — a routine, plan-driven acquisition rather than an active market buy. Such dividend-equivalent awards are common for non-employee directors and generally don’t carry the same interpretive weight as voluntary open-market purchases or sales.
