phantom stock financial
"Dividend equivalents that are paid on shares of phantom stock are deemed reinvested in additional shares of phantom stock as of the payment date."
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.
dividend equivalents financial
"Dividend equivalents that are paid on shares of phantom stock are deemed reinvested in additional shares of phantom stock as of the payment date."
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.
directors' deferred compensation plan financial
"These phantom shares accrue to the reporting person's account in the directors' deferred compensation plan."
