- The 12,986 award was substituted on Feb 26, 2024 for an earlier option award and certified at 100% of target upon performance completion (F2).
- One award was a substitution (from RSUs) and also certified at 100% (F5).
- Three-fifths of one award vests on Mar 20, 2026, with the remainder vesting ratably over the next two years (F3).
- No cash changed hands for the grants (reported $0); these are compensation awards, not purchases or sales.
Context These are derivative, performance- and time-based compensation awards (AO LTIP/LTIP Units) intended to align management with long-term performance. Such awards convert into partnership units and may ultimately be exchanged for common shares or cash when vesting and tax allocation conditions are met. Because these are grants tied to performance and service (not open-market buys or sales), they reflect compensation outcomes rather than an immediate personal purchase or sale signal.
