FAQ

What does Birks Group (BGI) Form 3 disclose about Davide Barberis Canonico?

The Form 3 shows Davide Barberis Canonico’s initial beneficial ownership in Birks Group. It lists his holdings of share-settled and cash-settled deferred share units linked to Class A voting shares, rather than recording any new share purchases, option exercises, or market sales.

How many share-settled deferred share units does Birks Group’s interim COO hold?

Birks Group’s interim COO holds 110,588 share-settled deferred share units (DSUs). Each DSU can be exercised to receive one Class A voting share, giving him potential equity exposure to the company’s stock through these units, subject to the timing conditions described in the footnotes.

How many cash-settled deferred share units does the Birks Group interim COO report?

The Form 3 reports 75,904 cash-settled deferred share units (DSUs) for the interim COO. These DSUs do not deliver shares; instead, they pay a cash amount equal to the stock price on the departure date multiplied by the number of DSUs held.
