• Vesting: GSUs and DEUs vest over time under monthly schedules (various grants use 1/48th monthly vesting with differing start dates and some months shifting to 1st-day vesting); DEUs vest on the same schedule as the GSUs on which they accrued.

Context

• These entries are equity compensation awards (not purchases or sales) and therefore represent future potential share issuance as the units vest; they do not reflect an immediate cash outflow or market sale. DEUs reflect accrued dividend equivalents tied to the GSUs and will convert to shares on the same vesting schedule. For investors, awards to directors are common as board compensation; they are informational about dilution/compensation but do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent.
