Phantom Stock Units financial

"Each unit represents one phantom 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.

What are the phantom stock units reported by Pfizer (PFE) in this filing?

The phantom stock units will be settled in cash or common stock at the director’s election. Settlement occurs after her retirement from Pfizer’s Board of Directors, aligning payout timing with the completion of her board service under the company’s deferred compensation plan.

What plan governs the phantom stock units granted to Pfizer (PFE) directors?

The units are granted under the Pfizer Inc. Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors. This plan provides deferred compensation in the form of phantom stock units, rather than immediate cash or stock, for eligible outside members of Pfizer’s board.
