Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Newell Brands director Patrick D. Campbell reported compensation-related equity activity with no open‑market trading. He exercised or converted 39,325 restricted stock units, each representing a contingent right to receive one share of Newell Brands common stock. These awards vest in full on the earlier of the first anniversary of grant or the next annual stockholder meeting, assuming continuous board service.

Campbell elected to defer settlement of certain vested RSUs, so they converted into an equal number of phantom stock units under the company’s deferred compensation plan. His direct holdings now include 121,576 phantom stock units, which will convert to common stock or cash after his board service ends. This total includes 13,622.59 phantom units from a dividend reinvestment feature, with 5,327.38 units accumulated since the prior report.

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.
phantom stock units financial
"The Reporting Person's phantom stock units will convert to shares of the Company's common stock..."
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.
