Context
Deferred stock units are a form of equity compensation that track the value of shares and are typically paid out according to the company’s plan and vesting/delivery schedule. Because these are awards (not purchases), they reflect compensation mechanics rather than a direct personal investment decision; they should be interpreted differently from open‑market buys or sells.
