Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-23; Price/value used: $51.05 per unit; aggregate value: $1,219.
• Instrument: Dividend-equivalent units (DEUs) — a derivative right tied to previously granted RSUs and/or DSUs.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this filing.
• Footnote: The DEUs were accrued on RSUs/DSUs in connection with a dividend; each DEU equals the right to one share subject to the original award's vesting and settlement terms. Numbers rounded to four decimal places.
• Filing timeliness: Reported on 2026-01-27; this meets the Form 4 deadline (filed within the required business-day window).

Context
DEUs are dividend-equivalent credits that will convert into shares (subject to vesting) on the same schedule as the underlying RSUs/DSUs. Such grants reflect compensation or dividend accrual on existing equity awards and are not the same as an outright open-market purchase or a sale.
