Context
These purchases were made through a public underwritten offering (per the prospectus supplement) rather than an open-market buy; the units were bought by entities tied to Mr. Ward (Trust and WCT Resources). As a 10% owner and GP CEO, reported purchases by or for affiliated trusts are common for ownership structuring and can reflect continued investment, but they do not by themselves explain personal motives.
