Insights

Director deferred compensation added 85.59 phantom units; settlement in cash upon retirement.

The Form 4 records a non-market grant: 85.59 phantom stock units were acquired on 10/01/2025 under a retainer deferral election. These units convert one-for-one to common shares but the filing specifies cash settlement after retirement, so no immediate share issuance is indicated.

This is a routine compensation-related filing, disclosing director pay deferral rather than trading activity; it documents a change in the director's deferred-compensation position but does not show open-market buying or selling that would affect short-term float.
