Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) financial
"The Plan provides for payment of a portion or all of the annual compensation in Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)."
Deferred stock units (DSUs) are a form of long-term pay that promises an employee or director future company shares or cash equal to the share value at a later date, usually after leaving the company or at a set vesting time. Think of them as a delayed paycheck tied to the stock: they align recipients’ interests with long-term share performance and matter to investors because they create potential future dilution and signal how management is rewarded and incentivized.

"The reporting person acquired these stock units under the Carrier Global Corporation Board of Directors Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the Plan)..."
dividend equivalents financial
"the DSUs in the director's account under the Plan, including accrued dividend equivalents, are converted..."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
lump-sum financial
"are converted into an equal number of shares of Carrier common stock that... are distributed either in a lump-sum or in installments."
installments financial
