Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors financial
"under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Deferred Fee Plan for Directors are to be settled in shares"
dividend equivalents financial
"Includes DSUs acquired as dividend equivalents."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
settlement date financial
"each DSU representing the right to receive one share of Common Stock on the settlement date"
The settlement date is the day when a securities trade is finalized: the buyer’s cash is delivered and the seller’s shares or bonds are transferred into the buyer’s account. Think of it like the closing day of a purchase, when ownership and payment officially change hands; until then the trade exists as an agreement but not as completed property transfer. Investors care because payment timing affects cash availability, record of ownership, dividends, and legal rights tied to the asset.
