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.

Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan financial

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

deferred compensation financial

"Represents the credit of deferred compensation to the Reporting Person's deferred stock account"

Deferred compensation is pay that employees or executives have earned now but will receive at a later date, such as delayed bonuses, retirement benefits, or stock grants. It matters to investors because it creates future obligations and shapes incentives—like a promise to pay later that can affect a company’s reported profits, cash needs and potential stock dilution—so it helps signal how a business manages costs and retains key people.
