Kontoor Brands director corrects phantom stock entry

Kontoor Brands director Robert Lynch filed an amended insider report that corrects a previously misreported phantom stock award.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Kontoor Brands director Robert Lynch filed an amended insider report that corrects a previously misreported phantom stock award. A prior Form 4 had shown an award of 722.8045 Phantom Stock-d units tied to Kontoor Brands common stock, which the company now states was reported erroneously and has been removed.

The amendment confirms that Lynch beneficially holds 8,480.274 phantom stock units under the Kontoor Brands Deferred Savings Plan for Non-Employee Directors. These units track the value of common shares on a 1-for-1 basis, with dividend equivalents reinvested, and will be settled 100% in cash upon his retirement rather than with company stock.
