Context
These entries are compensatory awards and an in-kind exchange, not open-market purchases or sales. PSUs were deemed to have met performance conditions tied to the company’s NYSE listing; vesting schedules remain over the next several years. Deferred stock units are cash-settled and will be paid on vesting. Such awards reflect compensation and corporate-accounting/transaction mechanics rather than immediate insider buying or selling intent.
