Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-03 (appears timely).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A); 2,887 share units acquired at $0.00 (derivative).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnote: Each share unit has the economic equivalent of one common share and becomes payable upon the reporting person's termination of service as a director (deferred compensation).

Context

• These are deferred share units (similar to restricted stock units) that generally do not provide immediate cash or necessarily voting rights until paid out; they represent future compensation tied to termination of service. Awards to non-employee directors are common and are a routine form of director compensation rather than an immediate market signal.
