Key Details

• Transaction date and type: 2026-05-06 — Award/Grant (code A) of 2,225 units at $0.00 (derivative security).
• Filing date: 2026-05-08 — appears timely (within the typical two-business-day Form 4 window).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Notable footnotes:
  • F1: Some shares referenced elsewhere are directly owned by BEP Special Situations V LLC; Wilder may be deemed to beneficially own those only to the extent of his pecuniary interest and otherwise disclaims beneficial ownership.
  • F2–F3: The award consists of director deferred share units received as deferred payment of retainer fees; units convert to stock and are distributed following termination of board service.

Context

• Director deferred share units are a common form of board compensation and are typically routine; they are not the same as a cash purchase or sale and do not necessarily signal the director’s short-term market view. For investors, outright purchases by insiders are usually considered more directly indicative of bullish sentiment than awards or deferred compensation.
