National Storage Affiliates (NSA) CSO William Cowan Converts LTIPs, Surrenders Shares

What Happened

• William S. Cowan Jr., Chief Strategy Officer of National Storage Affiliates Trust (NSA), reported conversion of long-term incentive plan units (LTIP Units / derivative securities) into restricted/common shares and subsequent dispositions to the issuer on 2026-07-22. The filing shows conversions of 20,374 and 140,923 derivative-based shares and dispositions to the issuer totaling 197,016 shares. No price per share is reported (N/A) because these were merger/conversion and tax-withholding related transactions, not open-market trades.

• For retail investors: this activity reflects LTIP conversion and withholding mechanics, not a signal of active buying or selling by the insider.
