Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-15; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-17 (timely).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A) — derivative RSU award.
• Quantity and value: 133.5 RSUs at $210.87 each; total ≈ $28,151.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this filing.
• Footnotes: F1 = based on 1-for-1 conversion to common shares; F2 = these RSUs represent dividend-equivalent accruals on outstanding RSU awards and will vest/settle only to the extent the underlying RSUs vest; some RSUs are held under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan.
• This is compensation-related (award), not a market purchase or sale.

Context These RSUs are derivative awards that typically convert to common shares only upon vesting and settlement, so they are not immediately tradable. Awards that represent dividend accruals are often routine components of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell decision in the open market. The filing appears timely (within the usual two-business-day window).
