Deferred Share Units financial
"security_title: "Deferred Share Units""
Deferred share units are promises that give an executive or director the right to receive company shares or their cash value at a future date, often when they retire or leave the company. Think of them as a paycheck held in a savings account that converts into stock later; they matter to investors because they tie pay to long-term performance, create potential future dilution of shares, and represent a delayed cash or share obligation the company must eventually fulfill.

vest financial
"The DSUs will fully vest on June 30, 2027, and do not expire."
A vest is the process by which an employee earns the right to receive certain benefits or ownership interests, such as stock or retirement funds, over time. It’s similar to earning a reward gradually, ensuring that the benefit becomes fully yours only after a set period or meeting specific conditions. This makes it important for investors because it determines when they can actually claim or use those benefits.

FAQ

What insider transaction did i-80 Gold Corp. (IAUX) report for John Arthur Begeman?

i-80 Gold Corp. reported that director John Arthur Begeman received a grant of 60,000 Deferred Share Units. These units are compensation-linked derivatives economically equivalent to common shares, rather than an open-market stock purchase or sale, and increase his equity-based exposure to the company.

How many Deferred Share Units were granted to the IAUX director and at what price?

The director was granted 60,000 Deferred Share Units at a stated price of $0.00 per unit. This indicates a compensation award rather than a market transaction, with each unit tied economically to one common share of i-80 Gold Corp.

When do the i-80 Gold Corp. Deferred Share Units granted to the director vest?

The 60,000 Deferred Share Units granted to the director will fully vest on June 30, 2027. Until that vesting date, the award remains subject to service conditions, aligning the director’s compensation with longer-term involvement with i-80 Gold Corp.

Do the i-80 Gold Corp. Deferred Share Units expire or have an end date?

According to the filing, the Deferred Share Units do not expire. This means once they vest on June 30, 2027, they remain outstanding as deferred equity-linked awards, subject to settlement terms such as issuance of underlying shares upon separation from board service.

Does the IAUX director have voting rights on the shares underlying the Deferred Share Units?

The director does not have voting or dispositive rights over the underlying common shares until he separates as a director. The filing specifies that common shares tied to the DSUs are not issued, and related rights are deferred until his board service ends.

What are the underlying shares associated with the 60,000 DSUs granted by i-80 Gold?

Each Deferred Share Unit is the economic equivalent of one common share, so 60,000 DSUs reference 60,000 underlying common shares. These common shares will only be issued, and related rights begin, when the director separates from the i-80 Gold Corp. board.
