Context
These entries reflect routine conversion of dividend equivalents tied to RSUs/PSUs into common shares — not an open-market purchase or a sale. Such derivative awards are common for executive compensation and do not, by themselves, signal a buy or sell sentiment. PSUs described in the footnotes are performance-contingent and may vest only if certain stock-price targets are met.
