Context
These entries are awards (compensation) rather than open-market purchases or sales. Awards and DSU grants are common board compensation and do not necessarily signal the director buying or selling shares on market. For retail investors, purchases by insiders can be more directly informative; DSU awards are part of routine compensation and are typically subject to vesting conditions.

Footnotes (2)
- [F1]Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) granted in accordance with the 2026 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The number of shares of the issuer's common stock underlying the DSU award is equal to the amount of the prorated annual cash compensation increase the reporting person elected to receive in DSUs, divided by the closing market price of a share of the issuer's common stock on January 2, 2026.
- [F2]These DSUs vest in full on December 31, 2026, provided however that if the reporting person ceases to serve as a director on the Issuer's board prior to that date, these DSUs will vest in a prorated portion based on the reporting person's time of service and the unvested DSUs will be forfeited.
