Context DSUs are a form of non-cash director compensation that track the economic value of shares and typically cannot be sold until specified vesting/retirement conditions are met, so this award does not represent an immediate purchase or sale of tradable shares. Dividend-equivalent DSUs (not cash) were included for the third quarter of 2026. Such grants are common for board compensation and do not by themselves indicate a change in the director’s trading stance.
