Context

• These were grants/awards (derivative awards), not open-market purchases or sales. The largest component includes stock options that, per the filing, vested and became exercisable immediately — exercising them would be a separate taxable/filing event. DSUs and RSUs are contingent rights to receive shares at vesting or settlement and are commonly used for director compensation. As always, awards reflect compensation arrangements and should not be read as a direct buy/sell signal.
