Context
- This is a grant of derivative units (profits interest), not a cash purchase or sale of stock. Such awards are a form of compensation and may convert into economic equity later if they achieve parity with common units.
- Grants are commonly part of compensation programs for executives and directors and do not by themselves signal an immediate buying or selling opinion by the insider.
