Phantom Stock financial
"Phantom Stock acquired under the Air Products Stock Account"
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.
Deferred Compensation Program for Directors financial
"acquired under the Air Products Stock Account of the issuer's Deferred Compensation Program for Directors"
Long-Term Incentive Plan financial
"under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan"
A long-term incentive plan is a company program that pays executives or employees with stock, options, or cash tied to multi-year performance goals, where the rewards become theirs only after meeting conditions over time. Think of it as a delayed bonus or retirement-style reward that aligns employees’ interests with shareholders by encouraging them to boost long-term value; investors watch these plans because they affect pay costs, share dilution and management incentives.
phantom deferred stock units financial
"Phantom deferred stock units (Units) acquired under the Air Products Stock Account"
Phantom deferred stock units are promises by a company to pay the cash value (or sometimes actual shares) tied to its stock at a future date rather than issuing real shares now; think of them as an IOU that tracks the company’s share price. They matter to investors because they create a future cash or accounting cost for the company without diluting existing ownership immediately, affecting reported profits and future cash flow when the promises become payable.
