3 terms

Phantom Stock Units financial

"Reporting Person elected to defer a portion of the Reporting Person's cash retainer fees into Phantom Stock Units pursuant to the Directors' Deferred Compensation 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.

Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"cash retainer fees into Phantom Stock Units pursuant to the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan"

dividend equivalents financial

"including dividend equivalents that have been credited as additional Phantom Stock Units"

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.
