Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation that create an entitlement to common shares (or cash) in the future; they are routine for board retainer arrangements and do not represent an immediate market purchase or sale. Because this is a compensation grant and fully vested, it reflects standard director pay rather than a direct bullish or bearish trading signal.
