Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-27 (filed on 2026-03-30; filing appears timely).
• Acquired: 21,430 shares at $4.47 each — total $95,792.
• Disposed (derivative): 64,290 units — consideration and price listed as N/A in the filing.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing extract.
• Footnotes: transactions arise from a rights offering (Record Date 2/19/2026) with a final subscription price of $4.47 and pro‑rata allocation of over‑subscriptions; shares allocated were confirmed on 3/27/2026 (see footnotes F1–F4).

Context
The transactions relate to a company rights offering that let record‑date shareholders subscribe for new TSI common shares (1 share per 3 rights) at a fixed subscription price ($4.47). The offering was over‑subscribed, so over‑subscription allocations were made pro‑rata and confirmed on March 27, 2026. The “X”/exercise entries are the exercising of those transferable rights; the separate disposal line is derivative‑related and the filing does not detail cash proceeds or the mechanics of that disposition. This is a purchase (exercise) of shares via a corporate offering rather than an open‑market buy or sale; no inference about the insider’s view should be assumed from these routine offering‑related actions.
