- Notable footnotes: DSUs are the economic equivalent of one common share and settle only after the director’s termination of service.

Context
DSUs are deferred compensation grants that convert into shares or cash only after a director leaves service, so this award does not represent an immediate open-market investment by the insider. Such grants are routine compensation for non-employee directors and do not by themselves indicate present buying or selling sentiment.
