Restricted Stock Unit financial
"Restricted Stock Unit Award granted under the 2021 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
A restricted stock unit is a promise from a company to give an employee shares of stock after certain conditions are met, like staying with the company for a set amount of time. It’s like earning a bonus that turns into company stock once you’ve proven your commitment, making it a way to motivate and reward employees.
Phantom Stock financial
"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one (1) share of Murphy Oil Corporation 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.
