Atmos Energy (NYSE: ATO) director exercises RSUs and adds 1,082 shares

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Atmos Energy Corporation director Kim R. Cocklin reported compensation-related equity activity, primarily acquiring shares through an award vesting and a new deferred unit grant.

Cocklin exercised 1,082 restricted stock units, receiving 1,082 shares of common stock at a stated price of $184.73 per share. After this transaction, direct common stock holdings were 173,713.6045 shares. Separately, Cocklin received 920.260 phantom stock units, each equivalent to one share of common stock and granted at $184.73 under the company’s 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These phantom units are to be settled when Cocklin’s service on the board ends, so they function as deferred compensation rather than current tradable shares.
