Context
These RSUs are director compensation that vested immediately and were converted into deferred/phantom units, meaning Hooper did not purchase or sell shares and no shares were distributed at grant. Deferred phantom units generally pay out later in cash or stock per the deferral program terms and are common for non-employee director compensation. This type of award is informational about compensation, not a direct market buy/sell signal.
