Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation for directors that track the economic value of common shares but are derivative in nature. Because the underlying shares are not issued and the director has no voting/dispositive rights until departure from the board, this grant does not represent an immediate equity stake or voting support. Such awards are common as director compensation and do not equate to an open-market purchase that some investors view as a stronger bullish signal.
