Phantom Stock financial
"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of 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.
non-qualified deferred compensation plan financial
"if the reporting person elected to receive distributions under the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan in installments"
An arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s salary or bonus at a later date, often to attract or keep key staff. Think of it as a company IOU or a delayed paycheck held on the company’s books rather than in a protected retirement account; investors care because these promises create future cash obligations that are typically unsecured and depend on the company’s financial health, affecting risk, liabilities, and cash-flow planning.
