Deferred Stock Units financial
"Each Deferred Stock Unit ("DSU") is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock."
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
Directors Preferred Compensation Plan financial
"described in the Issuer's Directors Preferred Compensation Plan."
dividend reinvestment program financial
"shares purchased pursuant to a dividend reinvestment program since the date of the reporting person's last ownership report."
A dividend reinvestment program lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of taking the money as cash. Think of it like an automatic savings plan that turns small payouts into additional ownership, often including fractional shares, which can speed up compound growth and reduce the need for manual buying decisions — a convenience that can boost long-term returns for shareholders.
