Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Herc Holdings Inc. reported that one of its directors received an award of phantom stock on 01/01/2026. The filing shows the grant of 320 phantom stock units, which are each economically equivalent to one share of Herc Holdings common stock and were acquired at a price of $0.

According to the terms, the value of these phantom stock units will be paid out in shares of common stock after the director ceases to serve on the company’s Board of Directors, as long as that happens on or after the company’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, or earlier if there is a change of control. This structure effectively defers the director’s compensation into stock-linked units that settle when board service ends.
