"One phantom stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. common stock."
Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Includes phantom stock units acquired by the reporting person as dividend equivalents under the PNC Deferred Compensation Plan."
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
Deferred stock units financial
"Deferred stock units ("DSUs") granted pursuant to the PNC Directors Deferred Stock Unit Program."
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
Directors Deferred Stock Unit Program financial
"DSUs granted pursuant to the PNC Directors Deferred Stock Unit Program under PNC's equity incentive plan."
