phantom stock units financial
"This number includes the phantom stock units acquired on various dates between December 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026 through reinvestment of dividend equivalents..."
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.
PepsiCo Director Deferral Program financial
"...through reinvestment of dividend equivalents pursuant to the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program, at prices ranging from $138.96 to $155.29..."
dividend equivalents financial
"...phantom stock units acquired on various dates... through reinvestment of dividend equivalents pursuant to the PepsiCo Director Deferral Program..."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
deferral period financial
"...payable in shares of PepsiCo Common Stock at the end of the deferral period selected by the filing person."
