- GSUs: each GSU converts 1-for-1 into a Class C share as it vests (F1).
- DEUs: dividend-equivalent units accrued on GSUs (related to the March 16 dividend) and vest on the same schedule as the underlying GSUs (F2, F3).
- Vesting schedules described in the filing include monthly vesting fractions (examples: 1/36 monthly on the 25th or 1st, and some 1/18 start dates) — vesting is subject to continued employment (F1, F4–F7).
- Filing timeliness: Form filed 2026-03-18 reporting transactions on 2026-03-04 and 2026-03-16. Form 4s are normally due within two business days of a reportable transaction; the March 4 transaction appears to be reported later than that.
Context
These are equity awards and dividend-equivalent units (not purchases or sales). Awards like GSUs are routine compensation for executives and convert to shares only as they vest; DEUs mirror dividend payments and vest on the same schedule. Such grants provide potential future ownership but do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling intent.
