• Transaction date: 2026-01-21; filing date: 2026-01-23.
• Transaction type/code: A (award/grant) — derivative security (DSUs).
• Shares/units granted: 546 DSUs; acquisition price reported as $0.00.
• Valuation method: number of DSUs was calculated using $320.59, the average of the high and low prices over the five trading days before the grant (footnote).
• Vesting/payment: DSUs vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant (or earlier at the next annual meeting) and are payable upon retirement either as a lump sum or in five annual installments (footnote).

• Filing timeliness: filed promptly (no late filing indicated).

Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation for directors; they do not represent an immediate open-market purchase or sale and generally reflect fee deferral rather than a trading decision. Because these units are payable later and vest over time, they are not a real-time bullish/bearish signal like an open-market purchase or sale.
