Phantom Stock financial
"the shares of phantom stock (the "Phantom Shares") will become payable"
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.
Directors Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"election to participate in the Iron Mountain Incorporated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan"
A directors deferred compensation plan lets a board member postpone receiving part or all of their cash fees or stock-based pay until a future date, often retirement, allowing taxes to be delayed and payouts to be structured over time. Investors care because these plans change a company’s future cash obligations and reveal how the board’s pay is aligned with long-term performance—like choosing to take a paycheck later to tie personal reward to the company’s future results.
