Phantom Stock financial

"The shares of phantom stock (the "Phantom Shares") will become payable in shares of Iron Mountain Incorporated 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.

Directors Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"election to participate in the Iron Mountain Incorporated Directors Deferred Compensation Plan"

weighted average price financial

"The price reported in Column 8 is a weighted average price."

Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.

dividends paid on Common Stock financial

"These shares give effect to dividends paid on Common Stock as if reinvested in Phantom Shares."
