Insights

TL;DR: Routine director compensation movements: a reported disposition and grant tied to deferred compensation and phantom units.

The Form 4 shows a disposition of 1,319.348 common shares and an award of 48 phantom stock units on 09/30/2025. Footnotes clarify that 1,071 restricted stock units plus dividend equivalents will vest at the next annual meeting and are payable under the outside directors' deferred compensation plan, and that phantom units convert to shares upon termination. These items are consistent with customary director compensation mechanics rather than an operational signal about the company. No cash proceeds, sale price, or reason for the disposition beyond the codes provided are included in the filing.

TL;DR: Director-level equity changes reflect standard deferred compensation and termination-settled phantom units.

The filing documents compensatory equity arrangements: restricted stock units that vest at the next annual meeting and phantom stock units that settle in shares upon director termination. Such structures are typical for outside directors to defer income and align incentives with shareholders. The Form 4 does not provide context such as total outstanding director holdings before these entries beyond the post-transaction beneficial ownership figure of 162.161 shares, so governance implications are limited to confirming these standard arrangements exist for Ms. Haugen.
