Context This was a compensation grant (performance-based equity), not an open-market purchase or sale. LPUs convert to common shares only if performance targets and employment conditions are met; therefore the economic value is contingent and may be zero or up to 2.5× the target award depending on stock appreciation over three years. Such grants are common executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buy or sell signal.
