deferred share units financial
"settlement of the reporting director's deferred share units on a one-for-one basis"
Deferred share units are promises that give an executive or director the right to receive company shares or their cash value at a future date, often when they retire or leave the company. Think of them as a paycheck held in a savings account that converts into stock later; they matter to investors because they tie pay to long-term performance, create potential future dilution of shares, and represent a delayed cash or share obligation the company must eventually fulfill.

"Upon ceasing to be a non-employee director of Ameriprise Financial, Inc."
lump sum financial
"in a lump sum at the end of the quarter immediately following"
A lump sum is a single, one-time payment of the full amount owed instead of spreading the same money over multiple smaller payments. For investors, receiving or paying a lump sum affects cash flow, reinvestment opportunities and tax timing—like getting a full paycheck at once rather than regular paychecks—so it changes liquidity, risk exposure and the timing of returns.
