phantom stock financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of 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.

restricted stock units financial

"Includes restricted stock units which vest 100% as of the date of grant"

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.

economic equivalent financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock"

separation from service financial

"settled in shares of Issuer common stock upon separation from service of the reporting person"
