Phantom Stock financial
"The filing also shows phantom stock credited under the Deferred Compensation Plan"
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.
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Each share of phantom stock is deemed invested in one share of NBT Bancorp Inc. common stock pursuant to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan"
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
restricted stock units financial
"Each outside director is entitled to receive an annual retainer for Board service in the form of restricted stock units of the Company's common stock that vest in one year"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
