Context Stock unit grants to directors are a common form of compensation and do not represent an immediate cash investment or sale. Because these units vest in one year and convert to shares only upon vesting, their ultimate value will depend on Valero’s stock price at that time and any applicable forfeiture or tax-withholding provisions. This filing is informational and does not by itself indicate a buy/sell signal.
