• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: The share units were credited under the 2020 Deferred Compensation Plan in connection with a cash dividend paid April 21, 2026.
  • F3: Dividend equivalents convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.
  • F4: Dividend equivalents accrued on certain restricted stock units that vest the earlier of June 18, 2026 or the next Annual Meeting, subject to continued service.

Context

• These entries are award/dividend credits (transaction code A) under a director deferred-compensation plan — common, administrative transactions that reflect dividend accrual and conversion mechanics rather than a market bet.
• The 46 derivative units are not a cash purchase; they represent dividend equivalents that can convert into common shares on a one-for-one basis per the filing.
