Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) plan The DSU plan allows the Company to grant DSUs in lieu of cash fees to non-employee directors providing a right to receive, upon retirement, a cash payment based on the volume-weighted-average trading price of the common shares on the TSX. At September 30, 2020, 1,863,521 DSUs (December 31, 2019 – 847,100) were outstanding and $1 million was recorded as a current liability (December 31, 2019 – $1 million). Share-based compensation Share-based compensation consisted of the following:
|  | Nine months ended September 30 |
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
RSU grants |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 3 |
Share-based compensation |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 3 |
The share price used in the fair value calculation of the DSU plan obligations at September 30, 2020 was $0.49 per share (2019 – $1.10). Share-based compensation expense related to the DSU plan, PSU plan and Option plan were insignificant in both periods. Employee retirement savings plan Obsidian Energy has an employee retirement savings plan (the “savings plan”) for the benefit of all employees. Under the savings plan, employees may elect to contribute up to 10 percent of their salary and Obsidian Energy matches these contributions at a rate of $1.00 for each $1.00 of employee contribution. Both the employee’s and Obsidian Energy’s contributions are used to acquire Obsidian Energy common shares or are placed in low-risk investments. Shares are purchased in the open market at prevailing market prices. Effective May 1, 2020, due to the low commodity price environment, the Company temporarily suspended the employer match portion of the savings plan.
