• Shares/units granted: 170 deferred stock units (DSUs). Reported acquisition value: $0.00.

Context
DSUs are commonly used for director compensation and do not represent immediate tradable shares; they convert into common stock only upon the director’s departure from the board. Because this was an award (not a purchase or sale), it should be viewed as routine compensation rather than a direct market sentiment signal.
