Context

• Dividend-equivalent RSUs are an administrative way to compensate holders of unvested RSUs for regular cash dividends; they are not a directional buy or sell signal by the insider. The cash-equivalent value here is modest (~$6.5k), so this item is generally informational rather than material market activity.
