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
"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.
Grant, award, or other acquisition financial
"transaction_code_description: Grant, award, or other acquisition"
cash settled financial
"are to be settled in cash at such time as prescribed by the Plan"
A contract described as cash settled is one where, at the end, one party pays the monetary difference in value rather than delivering the actual underlying asset. For investors this matters because it simplifies transactions (like settling a bet by paying the win amount instead of handing over a physical item), affects liquidity and timing of cash flows, and changes exposure to storage, delivery logistics and certain tax or counterparty considerations.
