How are Post (POST) director retainers handled under the deferred compensation plan?

Director retainers are deferred into Post Holdings stock equivalents under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Management Directors. Stock equivalents are credited shortly after the month in which retainers are earned and track the value of Post’s common stock over time for participating directors.

When will the Post Holdings stock equivalents be paid to the director?

The filing states that the stock equivalents will be distributed in cash on a one-for-one basis when the director separates from the Board. Until that time, the units remain as bookkeeping entries that mirror the value of Post Holdings common stock without fixed expiration dates.

Do the Post (POST) stock equivalents reported have expiration dates or exercise prices?

The stock equivalents reported for Michelle Marie Atkinson have no fixed exercisable or expiration dates. They also carry a conversion price of zero because they are bookkeeping units for deferred cash compensation, not traditional stock options with a strike price.
