Insights
TL;DR: Director compensation awarded as deferred share units; routine governance practice, no immediate dilution or cash outflow.
The reported grant of 34,340 DSUs to Director Barry Mainz is a standard form of deferred equity compensation that aligns director incentives with shareholder value. The DSUs are economically equivalent to common shares but are payable only upon cessation of service, at the company's discretion to pay in cash, shares, or a mix. This structure defers immediate ownership and potential voting rights and typically does not cause immediate dilution or require cash payment until settlement. The disclosure appears complete for this transaction.
