Key Details

• Transaction date: September 10, 2026; Form 4 filed: September 14, 2026 (filed within the SEC two-business-day reporting window).
• Units granted: 180 + 336 + 21 = 537 notional/restricted units. Price used: $118.48 per share. Total reported value: $63,623.
• Nature of awards: derivative units under the non-employee director deferred compensation plan (deferred stock units / restricted stock units) — not immediate cash purchases or sales.
• Payout/vesting notes from filing:
  • Some units are "notional share - mandatory" (deferred stock units payable as one share per unit at retirement; see F1/F2).
  • Some are "notional share - optional" (deferred units payable in shares or cash, with elective deferral rules and possible transfer to alternative investments; see F3/F4).
  • Some are restricted stock units that vest by the earlier of the annual meeting or May 12, 2027 and were deferred until retirement (see F5/F6).
• Shares owned after the grants: the excerpt does not specify total post-transaction beneficial ownership.

Context
These grants are routine director compensation provided as deferred stock units and restricted stock units. Such derivative awards give the director the right to receive common shares (or cash equivalent) in the future under specified vesting/payout rules and do not represent an immediate market buy or sell. For retail investors, purchases by insiders can be a stronger signal than routine grant awards; these entries mainly reflect standard non-employee director compensation and timing elections rather than an active bet on the stock.
