Key Details

• Transaction date: August 17, 2026; filing date: August 19, 2026 (reported within the two-business-day Form 4 window).
• Transaction: Award/acquisition of 49 dividend-equivalent units at $80.75 per unit — total $3,957.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing.
• Footnote: These are dividend equivalent units accrued as dividends on the common shares underlying restricted stock units; they vest and settle on the same terms as the related RSUs and each unit equals one share.
• Insider role (from remarks): SVP, Chief Accounting Officer and Controller.

Context Dividend-equivalent units are compensation-related credits that mirror dividends on RSUs and typically vest with the underlying restricted stock units; they are not open-market purchases or sales and therefore do not directly signal buying/selling sentiment. This appears to be routine compensation reporting rather than a market transaction.
