Deferred Share Units financial

"Grant of Deferred Share Units (DSU) acquired under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors"

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.

Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors financial

"acquired under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors"

dividend equivalent rights financial

"Includes dividend equivalent rights in connection with the Issuer's quarterly dividend"

Dividend equivalent rights are promises that mirror the cash payments shareholders get from a company’s profits, but they are paid to holders of certain awards (like stock options or restricted stock units) rather than to actual shares. Think of them as a paycheck top‑up that matches dividends while the award is not yet a real stock, and they matter to investors because they add to employee compensation costs and potential share dilution, affecting company profitability and per‑share value.
