Phantom Stock Units financial
"Represents dividends paid on phantom stock units acquired under the Corporation's Supplemental 401(k) Plan"
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

Is the Cabot Corp (CBT) CEO’s Form 4 a stock purchase or sale?

The filing shows no open-market purchase or sale. It reports a grant-type acquisition of phantom stock units credited as dividend equivalents within a deferred compensation plan, not a cash transaction in Cabot’s common stock on the market.

How many phantom stock units does the Cabot (CBT) CEO hold after this transaction?

After the transaction, Sean Keohane’s reported balance in phantom stock units under the Supplemental 401(k) Plan is 47,747.2951 units, each designed to track the value of one share of Cabot common stock on a one-for-one basis.

What are phantom stock units in Cabot Corp’s (CBT) Supplemental 401(k) Plan?

Phantom stock units are bookkeeping entries that mirror Cabot’s common stock value. Under the Supplemental 401(k) Plan, units accumulate, including dividend equivalents, and are ultimately settled in Cabot common shares when the executive retires or otherwise leaves employment.

When will Sean Keohane receive actual Cabot (CBT) shares from these phantom units?

The footnotes state the phantom stock units will be settled upon his retirement or other termination of employment. At that time, the accumulated phantom units are expected to convert into Cabot common stock under the terms of the Supplemental 401(k) Plan.
