Phantom Stock financial

"security_title: Phantom Stock"

A phantom stock is a form of compensation that gives employees or executives the benefits of stock ownership, such as the increase in stock value, without actually giving them real shares. It acts like a promise to pay the employee the equivalent value of company stock later, often as a bonus or incentive. This allows companies to motivate and reward staff without diluting ownership or transferring actual shares.

common stock units financial

"deferred the receipt of a cash retainer ... into common stock units"

A common stock unit is a tradable ownership interest that represents one or more ordinary shares in a company, giving the holder a stake in profits, a claim on assets after creditors, and usually voting rights on corporate matters. For investors it matters because these units determine how much of the company you own, how much influence you have, and how returns or losses are shared—think of owning slices of a pie that can be increased or diluted by the company’s actions.
