Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) financial

"Grant of Phantom Stock in the form of Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) for payment of Director Fees."

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.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) financial

"Number of shares includes 10,257 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and 50,505 Deferred Stock Units (DSUs)."

Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a type of company promise to give employees shares of stock in the future, usually after certain conditions like working for a set time. They are like a gift promised today that you receive later, which can become valuable if the company's stock price goes up. RSUs matter because they are a way companies reward employees and can be a significant part of compensation.

Phantom Stock financial

"Grant of Phantom Stock in the form of Deferred Stock Units (DSUs) for payment of Director Fees."

A phantom stock is a form of compensation that gives employees or executives the benefits of stock ownership, such as the increase in stock value, without actually giving them real shares. It acts like a promise to pay the employee the equivalent value of company stock later, often as a bonus or incentive. This allows companies to motivate and reward staff without diluting ownership or transferring actual shares.
