The investment objectives for the Preferred Shares are to provide their holders with fixed cumulative preferential monthly cash distributions in the amount of $0.05 per Preferred Share ($0.60 per annum or 6.0% per annum on the issue price of $10.00 per Preferred Share) until November 30, 2023 (the Maturity Date) and to return the original issue price of $10.00 to holders on the Maturity Date. The Company will invest on an approximately equally-weighted basis in Portfolio Shares of the following publicly traded Canadian banks: Bank of Montreal; Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce; National Bank of Canada; Royal Bank of Canada; The Bank of Nova Scotia; and The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The Portfolio will generally be rebalanced on a quarterly basis, starting on September 30, 2020, so that as soon as practicable after each calendar quarter the Portfolio Shares will be held on an approximately equal weight basis.

They have granted a lot of options late last week.....

They have granted a lot of options late last week.....
Options granting. The company granted approximately 2.4 million options last thursday to management and directors at ~$3.90 cents so there could have been a bit of a delayed reaction to the dilution of the total diluted share base.
With respect to selling of shares. Most all of the transactions were options that were about to expiry and the owners had to exercise them and buy the shares. However they usually opt to turn around and sell the shares because they want the money (the company management has waited a long time to get any value from options granted as part of their compensation) and also they do not want to spend the money to purchase shares at the strike price. This is indeed reasonable.
