Phantom Units financial
"The payment of the phantom units in cash is deemed to be a disposition"
Phantom units are a form of employee compensation that mimics ownership in a company without issuing real shares: recipients receive cash or stock value tied to the company’s share price or performance when the units vest. They matter to investors because phantom units align employee incentives with shareholder value while avoiding share dilution; however, they create future cash obligations and can affect a company’s financial statements and cash flow.
