Context
DSUs are a form of deferred compensation for directors; they do not represent an immediate open-market purchase or sale and generally reflect fee deferral rather than a trading decision. Because these units are payable later and vest over time, they are not a real-time bullish/bearish signal like an open-market purchase or sale.
