Phantom Stock Units financial
"Each Phantom Stock Unit is the economic equivalent of one share of 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.
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan are made in cash beginning on a specified date."
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.
automatic dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes 94.476 phantom stock units credited to the participant's account as a result of automatic dividend reinvestment."
director compensation financial
"Units credited to the participant's account under the Deferred Compensation Plan as a result of deferral of Director Compensation."
