Context

• Deferred share awards are common long‑term compensation and are subject to forfeiture until vested; they are not an immediate market purchase and should not be read as a short‑term trading signal.
• Because the shares were granted at $0 and vest over multiple years, any potential economic or tax consequences generally depend on future vesting and company policies.
