Phantom Stock Units financial
"Represents shares paid quarterly for director compensation under the FirstEnergy Corp. 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan and deferred pursuant to the FirstEnergy Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors."
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.
