Context
Deferred stock units are a form of deferred compensation for directors and do not immediately increase the company’s public float — the DSUs convert to actual shares only upon the director’s departure or retirement. Such awards are routine for board members and should be interpreted as compensation, not a direct bullish or bearish market signal.
