Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); 176 Units @ $0.00.

Context

This is a compensation-related award for a board member, not an open-market buy or sale. Deferred Stock Units are a common way directors receive compensation and do not represent an immediate cash transaction or an active market buy/sell signal. The Units will convert to common shares later (one-for-one) when the director leaves the board.
