BlackBerry Director Richard Lynch Receives 11,810-Unit Award

What Happened

• Richard J. Lynch, a director of BlackBerry Limited (BB), received a grant of 11,810 Deferred Share Units (DSUs) on 2026-08-31. The filing lists the transaction as an award/grant (code A) with no per-share price (N/A) because DSUs are a deferred-compensation derivative rather than open-market shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-31; Filing date: 2026-09-01 (timely filing).
• Security: 11,810 Deferred Share Units (DSUs) granted.
• Price/Value reported: N/A (DSUs are a derivative award, not an open-market trade).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not reported in the provided filing summary.
• Footnote: Each DSU is the economic equivalent of one common share and becomes payable — in cash, common shares, or a combination — at BlackBerry’s discretion following cessation of the director’s service.

Context

• DSUs are a form of deferred compensation for directors and do not represent immediate purchases or sales of common stock; they are payable later and thus are not an immediate market signal. This is a routine director award rather than a buy or sell by the insider.
