Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-31; Form 4 filed 2026-04-02 (timely filing).
• Grants: 6.5 common shares @ $270.88 (total ≈ $1,761); 174 derivative units (value N/A).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: Grants include fully‑vested Deferred Share Units (DSUs) in lieu of dividend equivalents; each DSU equals the right to one common share and will be settled in unrestricted shares upon separation, death/disability, or certain change‑of‑control events. Dividend equivalents elected to be paid as DSUs will be issued as additional DSUs.
  • F2: Filing text states “Includes 2,664.92 DSUs.”
  • F4/F5: Some grants are LTIP Units in Public Storage OP, L.P., intended to qualify as profits interests and potentially convertible to OP Units that may be exchanged for common shares or cash.
• Nature of transaction: Compensation awards to a director (not an open‑market purchase or sale).

Context
These are routine compensation/deferral awards for a non‑management trustee, not an insider stock purchase or sale. DSUs and LTIP Units are deferred/derivative instruments that convert to shares or cash under specified conditions, so these grants represent compensation accrual rather than an immediate market purchase or sale.
