Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-06; filing date: 2026-03-09 (filed within the usual 2-business-day window).
• Security: 105 derivative shares (award/grant); price reported as N/A.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this Form 4 filing.

Context This is a routine director compensation award (DSUs/RSUs) rather than a market trade. Derivative awards like DSUs/RSUs typically vest or convert into common shares over time and may include dividend equivalents as noted in the filing. Such grants are common for non-employee directors and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
