• Shares/units granted: 1,739 RSUs; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Vesting and conversion: Footnotes indicate these are restricted stock units that convert 1-for-1 into common shares and vest in three annual installments (33%, 33%, 34%) beginning on the date shown. The grant includes dividend-equivalent features/reinvestment.

Context

• This is an equity award (RSUs) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; such grants are a form of compensation and do not necessarily signal immediate insider buying or selling intent. The reported $0 acquisition price reflects the grant accounting on the Form 4; economic value to the insider depends on future vesting and the company’s stock price at conversion.
