Context This is a routine director compensation deferral into equity rather than a purchase or sale of stock; such grants are common for non‑employee directors and do not, by themselves, indicate personal buying or selling decisions. Because the units are payable in common stock under the plan, they increase potential future equity holdings when paid out per the deferral election.
