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.
