Phantom Stock financial
"Represents quarterly meeting and committee retainers deferred as phantom stock units."
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.
Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Deferred pursuant to the Director's election under the Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan."
Outside Director Stock Plan financial
"Represents an annual stock retainer pursuant to the Company's Outside Director Stock Plan."
reinvested dividends financial
"Represents net reinvested dividends on deferred shares after accounting adjustments."
Reinvested dividends are payouts a shareholder receives from a company that are automatically used to buy additional shares instead of being taken as cash. For investors this acts like planting dividends back into the portfolio so each future payout can come from a slightly larger holding, helping returns compound over time and showing the difference between income you spend today and total growth of your investment.
