Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-01
• Transaction type/code: Purchase (P) — open market or private purchase reported
• Shares bought: 955.768 at $14.65 per share
• Reported total value: $14,000 (rounded as reported)
• Footnote: Includes shares acquired through the issuer's Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).
• Filing date: 2026-09-03 — filed within the Form 4 two-business-day reporting window.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed on this filing.

Context

• The purchase amount is relatively small (~$14k). DRIP-related purchases typically mean dividends were reinvested to buy additional shares rather than a separate large cash investment.
• This is an insider purchase by a company executive (Head of Asset Management), not a 10% owner institutional filing. Purchases can signal confidence but do not prove future performance; use as one datapoint among others.
