The filing explains that each dividend equivalent right is the economic equivalent of one share of Koppers common stock. These DERs accrue on time-based restricted stock units, mirroring dividends that would be paid on actual shares, and function as a derivative compensation component.

Was there any open-market buying or selling of Koppers (KOP) stock in this Form 4?

No, the transaction reflects a grant of dividend equivalent rights, not an open-market trade. The Form 4 describes an acquisition under transaction code A, which covers grants or awards, with no per-share purchase price and no sale of common stock reported.

How are these Koppers (KOP) DERs related to Traci Jensen’s restricted stock units?
