- Notable footnotes (summary):
- F1: Each restricted share unit is a contingent right to receive one common share upon vesting/settlement.
- PBRSUs (F5, F8, F10): Performance-based RSUs have multi-year performance periods (examples: 2024 PBRSUs: 2/23/24–2/23/27 vesting Mar 15, 2027; 2025 PBRSUs: 2/28/25–2/28/28 vesting Mar 15, 2028; 2026 PBRSUs: 2/25/26–2/25/29 vesting Mar 15, 2029) and payout depends on performance outcomes.

- Time-based RSUs vest in equal annual installments with specified future vest dates (see F3, F4, F7, F9).
- Filing timeliness: Reported July 9 for July 7 transactions (as filed).
Context
- These are compensation awards, not open-market buys or sales. Awards are reported at $0 because they are grants; value will depend on the share price at settlement and on whether performance conditions are met for PBRSUs.
- Vesting schedules and performance conditions mean these units may convert to shares (or be forfeited) in future years; dividend equivalents generally mirror dividends on underlying shares and vest with the awards.
- For retail investors: awards indicate company compensation actions for an executive but are not an immediate signal of buying or selling in the market.
