Phantom Stock financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of the Issuer's common 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.

change of control financial

"or, if earlier following a change of control"

A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

annual meeting of stockholders financial

"on or after the date of the Issuer's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders"
