Context These entries are typical non-employee director compensation actions: deferred shares and dividend-equivalent RSUs that will be settled in stock according to the director’s deferral elections (often on leaving the board or as otherwise scheduled). Such awards are routine and reflect compensation mechanics rather than a direct market bet by the director.
