Context

• These dividend-equivalent units are commonly credited to RSU holders when a company pays a dividend and generally follow the vesting terms of the original award. This is an award-based acquisition, not an open-market purchase or sale, and so should not be interpreted as a direct buy or sell signal by the insider.
