  • Reported cash proceeds for disclosed share dispositions: $426,517 and $360,894 (total ~$787,411).

  • 80,406 RSUs forfeited prior to the effective time (per footnote).
  • Shares are held by the B & E Wessel Family Trust; Mr. Wessel disclaims beneficial ownership of those trust-held shares (footnote).
  • Transactions resulted from a court-approved plan of arrangement (cash-out acquisition), not an open‑market sale; filing was made on the transaction date (timely).

Context
These disposals were part of an acquisition under a British Columbia arrangement agreement in which all non‑dissenting shares were converted into the right to receive US$3.65 in cash. Per the agreement, outstanding options/derivatives were cashed out or cancelled based on their exercise prices (holders received the excess of $3.65 over exercise price, if any). This is a liquidity event (deal consideration), not a typical insider sale signaling sentiment.
