Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-11; filing date: 2026-02-13 (appears timely for a Form 4).
- Grant prices recorded at $65.51 per share; total award value ≈ $1.5M.

- Footnotes from the filing:
- F1: RSUs convert into common shares on a 1-for-1 basis.
- F2: One award is performance-based under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (vesting depends on compounded annual book value per share growth and relative TSR over a three-year performance period beginning 1/1/2026; vesting on 3/1/2029).
- F3: Another award is time‑based RSUs under the 2013 LTIP, vesting in equal installments on 3/1/2027, 3/1/2028 and 3/1/2029.
- F4: Dividend equivalent rights accrue on unvested awards and vest proportionately; each unit equals the economic equivalent of one common share.
Context
- These transactions are awards (not open-market purchases or sales). RSU grants are compensation and do not by themselves signal buying or selling in the market; they vest over time or upon meeting performance conditions. The zero-dollar dispositions reported to the issuer are typical mechanics to satisfy tax withholding obligations when awards are issued.
