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

"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.

economic equivalent financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock."

deferred compensation election form financial

"at the time elected by the reporting person in the reporting person's deferred compensation election form"
