Phantom Stock financial

"The amount shown reflects additional theoretical common shares (i.e., phantom stock) which were credited"

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.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"pursuant to the dividend reinvestment feature of the Methode Electronics, Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan"

A nonqualified deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer lets select employees postpone receiving part of their pay or bonuses until a future date, often at retirement, so taxes are paid later. It matters to investors because these payouts are typically unsecured promises by the company—like an internal IOU—so they create future cash obligations and expose the company to extra liability risk if the business falters, and they also reveal how executives are being paid and motivated.

Therese M. Bobek reported receiving 161.680 additional phantom stock units on May 1, 2026. These were credited under Methode Electronics’ Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan through a dividend reinvestment feature, rather than through an open-market stock purchase or sale.

How many MEI phantom stock units does Therese Bobek hold after this transaction?

After the May 1, 2026 credit, Therese M. Bobek’s deferred compensation account reflects 28,068.170 phantom stock units. These theoretical common share equivalents are held indirectly in the Methode Electronics Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan for long-term compensation purposes.

How many MEI common shares does Therese Bobek own directly after the filing?

Was the MEI insider transaction an open-market buy or sell of stock?

No, the reported activity was not an open-market buy or sell. The 161.680 phantom stock units were credited automatically under a dividend reinvestment feature in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, reflecting compensation mechanics rather than discretionary trading in MEI shares.

What does phantom stock mean in the context of MEI’s deferred compensation plan?

Phantom stock represents theoretical common shares used for tracking value in a deferred compensation plan. For Methode Electronics, these units mirror the value of common stock and can receive credited amounts via dividend reinvestment, but they are not actual traded shares.
