Phantom stock unit grants are a form of deferred/compensation award and are normally settled in cash rather than resulting in immediate issuance of common shares; they are typically routine compensation rather than a direct market signal. This filing reports the grant facts and the plan terms; it does not provide evidence of buying or selling stock in the open market.
