  • F1: Some shares reflect dividend equivalents credited under the RSU Deferral Plan (settled per the director's deferral election).
  • F2: Some shares are deferred shares from quarterly director cash fees under the Deferred Compensation Plan; deferred shares settle in one lump sum after the director leaves the board.

Context These credits are standard forms of non-employee director compensation (restricted stock units/dividend equivalents and deferred fee shares) and do not represent a buy or sell decision in the open market. Deferred shares will generally be converted to common stock only upon settlement per the director’s deferral election (often when service ends), so this filing signals compensation accrual rather than active trading.
