What Happened

The transaction is reported on the Form 4 with an acquisition price of $0.00, which is typical for time- or performance-based equity awards (value is realized when units vest/convert to shares).

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-01-20; Form 4 filed: 2026-01-22 (appears timely).
Transaction type: Award/Grant (code A); derivative instrument (restricted stock units).
Shares/units granted: 1,739 RSUs; reported acquisition price: $0.00.
Vesting and conversion: Footnotes indicate these are restricted stock units that convert 1-for-1 into common shares and vest in three annual installments (33%, 33%, 34%) beginning on the date shown. The grant includes dividend-equivalent features/reinvestment.
Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in this filing.
Footnotes of interest from the filing: F1 (includes dividend equivalent feature), F10 (3-year vesting schedule), F11 (dividend equivalent reinvestment), F9 (1-for-1 conversion).

Context

This is an equity award (RSUs) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; such grants are a form of compensation and do not necessarily signal immediate insider buying or selling intent. The reported $0 acquisition price reflects the grant accounting on the Form 4; economic value to the insider depends on future vesting and the company’s stock price at conversion.
