"Shares of phantom stock are convertible into ONE Gas' common stock on a 1-for-1 ratio"
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 for Non-Employee Directors financial
"Annual stock retainer elected to be deferred to phantom stock under ONE Gas' Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"
distribution date financial
"settled in shares of ONE Gas common stock at the distribution date described in the Plan"
The distribution date is the day a company, fund, or trust actually pays out cash or other assets to its shareholders or unitholders. Think of it as the payday when owners receive dividends, interest, or capital gains distributions; it matters to investors because it determines when you get the money, can affect the security’s price that day, and has tax and cash-flow consequences.
