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"
fair market value financial
"each DSU representing the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the settlement date"
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
Common Stock financial
"each DSU representing the fair market value of one share of Common Stock"
Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.
