Context

  • Per the filing footnotes: the 19,845 restricted shares are performance‑based awards under the 2013 Long‑Term Incentive Plan tied to multi‑year book‑value growth and relative total shareholder return (three‑year performance period beginning Jan 1, 2026; vesting Mar 1, 2029). The 9,923 awards are restricted share units (RSUs) that convert one‑for‑one into common shares and vest in equal installments on Mar 1 of 2027, 2028 and 2029. Dividend equivalent rights accrue on unvested awards and vest proportionately with the related awards.
  • These transactions are compensation awards (not open‑market buys). Such grants compensate executives and are not direct signals of immediate buying or selling intent.
