Phantom Stock financial
"Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. common stock."
A phantom stock is a form of compensation that gives employees or executives the benefits of stock ownership, such as the increase in stock value, without actually giving them real shares. It acts like a promise to pay the employee the equivalent value of company stock later, often as a bonus or incentive. This allows companies to motivate and reward staff without diluting ownership or transferring actual shares.
lump sum financial
"in a lump sum at the end of the quarter immediately following the quarter"
A lump sum is a single, one-time payment of the full amount owed instead of spreading the same money over multiple smaller payments. For investors, receiving or paying a lump sum affects cash flow, reinvestment opportunities and tax timing—like getting a full paycheck at once rather than regular paychecks—so it changes liquidity, risk exposure and the timing of returns.
non-employee director financial
"Upon ceasing to be a non-employee director of Ameriprise Financial, Inc."
