Context
These are grants of deferred RSUs (future share awards), not open-market purchases or sales. Deferred RSUs represent a right to receive shares later (often used for director compensation) and typically do not indicate immediate buying or selling sentiment. Dividend-equivalent rights simply track dividends on the underlying shares and vest with the RSUs.
