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.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors financial
"Phantom stock acquired upon deferral of compensation under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"
Rule 16b-3(d) regulatory
"Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, exempt under Rule 16b-3(d)."
Rule 16b-3(d) is a narrow SEC safe-harbor that shields company insiders (officers, directors and large shareholders) from liability for short‑swing profits when their buys or sells of company stock are made under a pre-established, written plan or contract that removes the insider’s ability to time trades. For investors, this matters because it permits predictable, automated insider transactions — like scheduled sales for diversification or payroll withholding — without triggering forced disgorgement, so such planned trades are treated differently from opportunistic insider trading.
