Context

• DSUs are a form of deferred compensation and represent a derivative right tied to the company’s common stock; they are typically settled or converted upon a director’s departure/retirement and are not an immediate open-market investment signal.
• For retail investors, such grants are routine board compensation and should be viewed as non‑transactional compensation rather than a direct endorsement to buy or sell OVV shares.
