Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-27; Form 4 filed 2026-03-03.
• Transaction type/code: Award/Acquisition (A); 582 DSUs granted @ $0.00 (derivative).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: Each DSU equals the economic equivalent of one Ovintiv common share and accrues dividend-equivalent DSUs; DSUs are held until the director retires from the Board (per footnote F1).

Context This was a compensatory award (deferred stock units), not an open-market purchase or sale. DSUs represent a right to receive stock value later (commonly at board retirement) and are therefore different from immediate share ownership or a cash transaction. Such awards are routine for directors and should be viewed as compensation rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
