Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-29; Form 4 filed: 2026-10-01 (appears within the standard two-business-day filing window).
• Securities: 39 Deferred Share Units (DSUs); reported acquisition price: $0.00.
• Amount owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing data.
• Footnotes: F1 — each DSU is economically equivalent to one Ovintiv common share and accrues dividend‑equivalent DSUs; DSUs are held until the director retires from the Board. F2 — these 39 DSUs represent dividend equivalents paid in lieu of cash dividends for Q3 2026.
• Nature: Derivative award to a non-employee director (routine director compensation), not a purchase or sale.

Context

• DSUs are a form of deferred compensation for directors; they are typically retained until board retirement and reflect standard compensation practices rather than an active buy/sell signal. Because this was an award of dividend equivalents, it should be viewed as routine director pay, not an indicator of insider market timing.
