Phantom Stock financial

"The phantom shares are immediately vested, but subject to a minimum 1-year deferral."

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 Stock Compensation Plan financial

"Includes phantom stock acquired through the reinvestment feature under the DTE Energy Company Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."

Non-Employee Directors financial

"Deferred Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
