- Ownership notes: filing notes there were 9,715 previously granted DSUs outstanding (F3). The new awards add 2,593 common shares plus 2,593 DSUs; the DSUs are payable one-for-one in common shares upon the director’s resignation.

Context These awards are board-compensation-related (re-election awards), not open-market purchases or sales. The DSUs are 100% vested on grant but are payable as shares only when the director resigns from the board, so they are a deferred form of equity compensation rather than an immediate change in tradable share supply. Such grants are routine for director compensation and do not, by themselves, indicate the insider is buying or selling stock in the open market.
