Phantom Stock financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of 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.

"deferred compensation to the Reporting Person's deferred stock account under the Issuer's Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan."
