• Transaction type: Award/Grant (A) of 10,123 Deferred Share Units (derivative).
• Price/Value: N/A in the filing (DSUs represent future economic value, not a current market purchase).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.

Context DSUs are a form of deferred director compensation that track the economic value of one common share each but are settled later (cash or shares) when the director leaves the board. They are not the same as immediate open-market purchases or sales and do not necessarily indicate a buy/sell sentiment by the insider. This is a routine compensation grant for a director rather than an executed trade.
