FIRST US BANCSHARES (FUSB) director receives phantom stock unit award

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

They are scheduled to be settled in common stock at the end of the deferral period, reflecting a routine, non-cash, compensation-related award rather than an open-market trade.

Phantom Stock Units financial

"security_title: "Phantom Stock Units" and units convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis."

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.
