• Footnote: Units were granted under the Issuer’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and were credited to the reporting person’s Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (DDCP) in connection with a quarterly cash dividend; previously granted units subject to a deferral election are fully vested as of this date.

Context These were stock units (not an open-market purchase or sale). Each unit simply represents the right to one share and was credited to a deferred compensation account as part of dividend-related crediting — a routine administrative award rather than a market trade. Such awards generally do not signal the insider buying or selling stock on market sentiment.
