- Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this Form 4.
- Footnotes: DSUs are the economic equivalent of one common share and will settle after the director’s termination of service. For U.S.-taxed directors, settlement occurs no later than ~40 days after termination and will be in common shares or the cash equivalent (calculated using a closing-price formula).
Context
This is a routine director compensation award (derivative grant) rather than a market purchase or sale — such grants are common and do not by themselves indicate the director is buying or selling shares for investment reasons. DSUs only convert into shares or cash after the director leaves service, so there’s no immediate change in share ownership or market activity.
