Flowserve reported that director Ruby R. Chandy acquired 69 units of phantom stock on February 11, 2026. This was a grant under the company’s deferred compensation plan, reflecting director fees taken in stock-equivalent form rather than cash, not an open-market stock purchase or sale.

How many phantom stock units does Ruby R. Chandy hold after this Form 4 filing for FLS?

After the reported transaction, Ruby R. Chandy beneficially owns 33,193 phantom stock units directly. This total incorporates the 69 new units granted on February 11, 2026, and represents her accumulated deferred director compensation in stock-equivalent form tied to Flowserve’s common shares.

What is phantom stock in the context of Flowserve (FLS) director compensation?

For Flowserve, each phantom stock unit is economically equal to one share of common stock. It represents director compensation deferred into stock-equivalent units under the company’s deferred compensation plan, allowing directors to align pay with shareholder value without immediate issuance of actual shares.

When will Ruby R. Chandy’s Flowserve phantom stock units be paid out?

The phantom stock units become payable in Flowserve common stock when Ruby R. Chandy’s service on the board ends. At that termination of service, the accumulated phantom stock units are settled in actual shares, converting deferred director compensation into equity ownership at that time.

Was Ruby R. Chandy buying or selling Flowserve (FLS) shares in this Form 4?

The Form 4 shows an acquisition coded as a grant of phantom stock, not a market trade. Ruby R. Chandy received 69 phantom stock units as director compensation under a plan, so the transaction reflects deferred fees rather than a discretionary buy or sell in the open market.
