Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of shares held by Ed Daniels in the Equiniti Nominee Account (34,152 shares).
- Confirm the nature of the transaction was a variation in DRIP participation to receive cash dividends, not a sale or purchase of shares.
- Note that no price or total transaction value is applicable as this was a plan variation, not a market trade.
