Phantom Stock financial

"The phantom stock shares convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis."

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.

Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"The phantom stock shares were acquired under the Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan"

A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.

What are phantom stock units in the CHD Deferred Compensation Plan?

Phantom stock units are bookkeeping entries that mimic Church & Dwight common stock on a 1-for-1 basis. They entitle the holder to a future cash payment linked to share value, rather than delivering actual shares when settled under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The 44.643 phantom stock units were credited at a reference price of $96.88 per unit. Each unit converts on a 1-for-1 basis with common stock value, so the cash payout later will depend on the stock price when the plan’s settlement conditions are met.
