Insights

Director received phantom units aligning compensation with shareholder value.

This Form 4 discloses a nonemployee director grant of 2,546.48 phantom stock units under the 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan, which convert to common shares after service ends. Such deferred equity grants are a common governance practice to align director interests with long‑term shareholders without immediate dilution.

The filing also shows the director holds 37,967.921 beneficial direct phantom/stock equivalents and an indirect stake of 47,127 shares via a spouse’s trust, indicating meaningful ownership relative to board oversight.

Transaction is a compensatory grant, not an open‑market purchase or sale.

The reported acquisition code (A) reflects receipt of phantom units, with a reported unit price of $24.74. The explanation states additional units resulted from conversion of dividend equivalents from 03/31/2025 through the transaction date, increasing the director’s deferred equity balance.

The units vest to shares upon termination or upon separation within six months after a change in control, which is a clear pay‑out trigger disclosed in the filing.
