[SCHEDULE 13G] John Hancock Investors Trust Capital Stock SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SSR Mining Inc. (SSRM) – Form 4/A insider transaction

Director Kay G. Priestly reported the acquisition of 2,217 Deferred Share Units (DSUs) on 01 July 2025. The grant was recorded at a price of $0, reflecting a routine equity compensation award rather than an open-market purchase. Following the transaction, Priestly now holds 61,161 DSUs, each representing the cash value of one common share payable upon retirement from the Board. No non-derivative common shares were reported in this filing, and there were no dispositions.

The filing is an amendment dated 02 July 2025, indicating a correction or update to a previously submitted Form 4. Because DSUs settle in the future and entail no immediate cash outlay, the event has minimal near-term impact on SSR Mining’s share float or insider ownership dynamics. The transaction represents standard director compensation and does not signal a directional view on the company’s valuation.

Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

TL;DR: Routine director DSU grant; no cash cost, minimal market impact, neutral signal.

The 2,217-unit DSU award increases Kay Priestly’s deferred holdings to 61,161 units, typical for annual board compensation plans. DSUs convert to cash upon retirement, so there is no immediate dilution or purchase-for-cash. The amended filing simply clarifies the grant details. Given SSRM’s ~210 million shares outstanding, the award is immaterial (<0.003% of float) and carries no predictive value for the stock. I rate the disclosure neutral for investors.
