Context
- These are deferred-compensation share credits (derivative rights), meaning Connell did not receive tradable shares immediately; the credits convert to actual Class A common stock upon the end of his service per plan terms. Such grants are routine for directors and reflect compensation arrangements rather than immediate market buys or sales.
