Restricted Stock Units financial

"Upon the vesting of restricted stock units on April 15, 2026, which were granted..."

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Phantom Stock Units financial

"received instead shares of phantom stock pursuant to the PPG Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors."

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.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors financial

"pursuant to the PPG Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors."

A deferred compensation plan for directors is an arrangement that lets board members postpone receiving part of their pay until a later date—often retirement or a set future time—so the money can grow or be paid under specified conditions. Think of it like directing a portion of your paycheck into a locked savings account that pays out later; investors care because it creates future cash or stock obligations, signals how the company motivates and retains leadership, and can affect shareholder value through timing of payouts or potential dilution.

unfunded unitized company stock fund financial

"Phantom stock units represent interests in an unfunded unitized company stock fund comprised of stock and cash."

contingent right financial

"Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of PPG common stock."
