The director received 23,230 Deferred Share Units in this transaction. Following the grant, his total directly held DSUs rose to 397,751, reflecting an increase in his equity-based compensation tied to the economic value of BlackBerry common shares.

What is a Deferred Share Unit in the context of BlackBerry (BB)?

A Deferred Share Unit is an award economically equivalent to one BlackBerry common share. These DSUs are not paid immediately; they become payable in cash, common shares, or a combination at BlackBerry’s discretion after the director’s service on the board ends.

When do the BlackBerry (BB) Deferred Share Units granted to Wayne Wouters become payable?

The Deferred Share Units become payable after Wayne Wouters ceases serving as a director. At that time, BlackBerry may settle them in cash, common shares, or a combination of both, based on the company’s discretion under its compensation arrangements.

Did the BlackBerry (BB) director buy or sell shares in the market in this Form 4?

No market buy or sell occurred; the filing shows a grant acquisition of DSUs. The transaction code “A” and description indicate a grant, award, or other acquisition of derivative equity, not an open-market trade in BlackBerry common shares.

How does this DSU grant affect the BlackBerry (BB) director’s ownership position?

The grant increases Wayne Wouters’ directly held Deferred Share Units to 397,751. Each DSU is economically equal to a common share, so the award expands his equity-linked exposure to BlackBerry, payable in the future after his board service ends.
