Insights

Corporate Governance Specialist

Director elected stock-for-fee payment; small automatic share issuance.

The filing documents a standard director compensation election: Mr. Ullem received 252 shares for quarterly retainer fees, calculated using the quarter’s volume-weighted average closing price at $99.1666 per share. This increases his direct holdings to 8,389 shares.

Such elections are routine governance practices to align director interests with shareholders and do not indicate discretionary insider trading; the report shows an issuance under the company’s compensation arrangement rather than an open-market purchase or sale.
