Phantom Stock financial

"Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share"

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.

"Shares of Phantom Stock are payable in shares in accordance with the terms of the Non-Qualified Retirement Savings Plan"
