Key Details
- Transaction date: March 25, 2026. Grant type: Award/Acquisition (derivative DSUs).
- Quantity and value: 694 DSUs × $25.18 = ~$17,475 (valuation per filing footnote).
- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the Form 4 filing.
- Footnote highlights: DSUs entitle the holder to one common share (or cash at settlement, subject to plan admin approval); these DSUs are fully vested and will be settled following the reporting person’s separation from service. (Footnote F1) Valuation used the March 24, 2026 Nasdaq closing price. (Footnote F2)
- Filing timeliness: Form 4 was filed on March 27, 2026 (covering the March 25 transaction); filing appears timely.
Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation (a derivative award), not immediate common-share ownership; they convert to shares or cash only at settlement (here, after separation from service). This grant reflects a routine compensation election (director chose DSUs instead of a cash retainer) rather than an open-market buy or sale.
