  1. Grant of fully-vested deferred share units (DSUs) in lieu of dividend equivalents pursuant to the Company's Non-Management Trustee Compensation and Deferral Program under the Company's 2021 Equity and Performance-Based Incentive Compensation Plan.

The DSUs will be settled in unrestricted common shares (i) in a lump sum on January 1st of the calendar year following Mr. Spogli's separation from service as a trustee or (ii) in a lump sum upon Mr. Spogli's earlier death or disability or upon an earlier change of control of the Company.

LTIP Units financial
"designated as LTIP Units ("LTIP Units"), pursuant to the Company's Non-Management Trustee Compensation and Deferral Program"
LTIP units are awards given to executives and employees as part of a long-term incentive plan; they act like deferred bonuses that convert into company shares or cash only if the business meets set performance or time requirements. Investors care because LTIP units tie management pay to future results, can increase the number of outstanding shares (dilution) when they vest, and create ongoing compensation expense that can affect earnings and shareholder value.
deferred share units (DSUs) financial
"Grant of fully-vested deferred share units (DSUs) in lieu of dividend equivalents"

"LTIP Units are intended to qualify as profits interests for US federal income tax purposes"
OP Units financial
"convertible ... into Common Units in Public Storage OP ("OP Units"). The resulting OP Units may be exchanged"
OP units are ownership stakes in an operating partnership that sits beneath a public parent company, commonly used by real estate and energy firms to hold assets and distributions. Think of them like special shares in a subsidiary: they give economic rights to profits and cash payouts but are structured differently from the parent’s common stock, so investors watch OP unit issuance because it can change the effective ownership, future distributions, and potential dilution of the parent company’s equity.
