Phantom Stock financial
"Represents phantom stock units ("PSUs") accrued under the Kontoor Brands Deferred Savings Plan"
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.
Deferred Savings Plan For Non-Employee Directors financial
"accrued under the Kontoor Brands Deferred Savings Plan For Non-Employee Directors Plan"
restricted stock units financial
"Includes 81.951 shares received as dividend equivalents on restricted stock units since the last statement"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
dividend equivalents financial
"Includes 431.5351 shares received as dividend equivalents on PSUs since the last statement"
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
