Deferred Share Units (DSUs) financial

"Grant of Deferred Share Units (DSUs). Each DSU is the economic equivalent"

Deferred share units (DSUs) are a form of long-term compensation that give an executive or director a payable claim whose value moves with the company’s stock price but is not paid out until a later date, often when they leave the company. Think of a DSU as an IOU tied to the share price that becomes cash or shares in the future; investors watch DSUs because they affect potential share dilution, the timing of cash outflows, and whether management’s interests align with long-term shareholder value.

voting or dispositive rights financial

"shall not have any voting or dispositive rights with respect to the underlying"

termination date financial

"will expire on December 31 of the year following the reporting person's termination date"

Termination date is the specific calendar day when a contract, agreement, option or other legal arrangement stops being in effect and any remaining rights or obligations expire. For investors it matters because that date sets deadlines for exercising rights, receiving payments, closing positions or avoiding penalties—similar to the day a lease or warranty ends, after which parties no longer have the same protections or claims.
