Phantom Stock financial

"Security title listed as "Phantom Stock" with units tied to common stock."

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.
