Context DSUs are a form of deferred compensation commonly used for directors: they track the economic value of shares but are paid or converted later (here, not issued until separation and vesting on 6/30/2027). Because this is a compensation grant rather than an outright purchase or sale, it should be viewed as routine director remuneration rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
