Context
- These entries reflect gifts of vested options and do not involve market sales or purchases, so they are not a direct signal of buy/sell sentiment. Gifts to family trusts or spouse are commonly used for estate planning or family wealth transfer.
- Because these are derivative instruments (options), future exercise could convert them into common shares, but this filing only documents the transfer of the option interests themselves.
