Context

• These entries are awards/derivative grants (compensation/deferral) rather than open‑market purchases or sales. Phantom stock and DSU/RSU‑style awards typically reflect compensation and do not necessarily convey immediate voting rights or share ownership; they may be settled in cash or stock in the future. The dollar amounts reported here are modest.
