Context Deferred Stock Units are a form of compensation for directors that defer receipt of shares until a future date (here, retirement). Such grants are common as part of director pay and do not indicate an immediate purchase or sale of stock. Because these DSUs vest now but only convert to shares upon retirement, there is no immediate change to the director’s share count or market activity.
