• Payment/settlement: Footnote F2 indicates the deferred stock has no expiration and will be payable one-for-one in the issuer's Class A Common Stock after the reporting person's separation from service.

Context These deferred stock units represent compensation deferral and dividend equivalents, not an immediate purchase of tradable shares. Such grants are routine for non-executive directors who elect to defer equity pay; they do not necessarily signal a change in the director’s view of the company. The economic value of this transaction is modest (~$1.4k) and will convert to Class A common stock only after separation per the plan terms.
