Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation and represent the economic equivalent of common shares; they are not an immediate purchase or sale of stock. Because DSUs are held until board retirement and include dividend equivalents, this transaction is typically a routine compensation/dividend event rather than an active market signal about the director’s view of the company.
