Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-04; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-09 (filed within the standard 2-business-day reporting window).
• Transaction type/code: A = Award/Grant; reported as a derivative acquisition of 118 shares (units).
• Price/Value: N/A in the filing — market value not disclosed.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in this filing.

Context

• This appears to be a routine equity award (likely RSUs or DSUs) to a company director rather than an open-market buy or sale. Such grants are typically part of compensation and do not by themselves signal a buy/sell market view. The filing was timely.
