Phantom Stock Units financial

"Phantom Stock Units acquired as a grant linked 1-for-1 to common stock."

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.

Supplemental 401(k) Plan financial

"Dividends paid on phantom stock units under the Corporation's Supplemental 401(k) Plan."

dividend equivalents financial

"Represents dividends paid on phantom stock units acquired under the plan."

Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.

grant, award, or other acquisition financial

"Transaction coded as a grant, award, or other acquisition (Code A)."
