Americn Electric SEC Filings

Form 4 filing for American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) details routine equity-based compensation for outside director Sara Martinez Tucker. On 30 June 2025, the director acquired 409.59 phantom stock units at a reference price of $103.76 per unit under the AEP Stock Unit Accumulation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. These units are cash-settled and therefore do not represent the purchase of AEP common shares. Following the transaction, Tucker’s total holdings in the plan amount to 30,264.66 phantom units. Units are payable in cash after board service ends, and may be reallocated to other investment options at any time.

On 06/30/2025, American Electric Power Co. (AEP) director Margaret M. McCarthy filed a Form 4 reporting the acquisition of 409.59 phantom stock units at an indicative price of $103.76 each under the AEP Stock Unit Accumulation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Phantom stock units mirror AEP share value and are delivered in cash or shares after board service ends, so no cash was exchanged at the time of grant. Following the award, McCarthy's direct holding in the plan totals 2,196.4 phantom units. No open-market purchase, sale, or change in non-derivative share ownership was reported, indicating a routine director compensation transaction with limited market significance.

American Electric Power Co. (AEP) – Form 4 insider filing

Director Sandra Beach Lin reported the acquisition of 409.59 phantom stock units on 06/30/2025 under the company’s Stock Unit Accumulation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Each phantom unit mirrors the value of one share of AEP common stock and is cash-settled after the director leaves the Board.

The reference price disclosed for the units was $103.76 per phantom share, implying an incremental position worth roughly $42,000. After the transaction, Lin’s direct holdings in the plan total 17,834.81 phantom units. No transactions involving actual AEP common shares were reported, and the filing does not indicate any sales or option exercises.

The transaction appears to be routine board compensation rather than an open-market purchase, and it modestly increases the director’s economic exposure to AEP’s share price.

Form 4 filing overview: On 06/30/2025 American Electric Power Co. (AEP) director Lewis Von Thaer acquired 409.59 phantom stock units credited at a reference price of $103.76 per unit. Following the transaction, the director holds 6,709.07 phantom stock units in total.

Phantom stock units are a derivative form of compensation that track the value of AEP common shares and settle in cash or shares when board service ends, unless the director elects a deferral of up to five years. No open-market purchase or sale of common shares occurred; the filing reflects routine board compensation and does not change the public float or share count.

Director Hunter C. Gary reported the acquisition of 409.59 phantom stock units on 06/30/2025 at a reference price of $103.76 per AEP share.

The filing reflects routine board compensation rather than a discretionary insider buy or sell. As such, the disclosure is informational and neutral for investors, indicating continued alignment of the director’s interests with shareholder value but no material change to AEP’s fundamentals.
