Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Director purchased shares and holds significant phantom stock units.

This filing shows an insider purchase of 925 shares at $45.93, increasing direct holdings to 7,533 shares. Such purchases by a director are a factual disclosure of personal investment in the company's equity.

The director also holds 23,442.4533 phantom stock units payable in cash or shares after service, which represent deferred compensation rather than currently tradable shares; the units include accrued dividends per the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Equity Compensation Specialist

Phantom units equal economic exposure of 23,442.4533 shares, payable post-service.

The phantom stock units are described as 1-for-1 equivalents to common stock and are payable in cash or shares under the FirstEnergy Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors. The filing explicitly states the holding includes accrued dividends.

This is a standard disclosure of deferred director compensation; it documents economic exposure but does not indicate immediate dilution or exercise events.
