Phantom Stock Units financial
"Phantom stock units represent interests in an unfunded unitized company stock fund"
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
"Total of all phantom stock units held by the reporting person in 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."
fair market value financial
"may change from time to time without the volition of the reporting person depending on the fair market value of the issuer's common stock"
The price a willing buyer and a willing seller would agree on for an asset or security when neither is under pressure and both have access to the same information. Think of it as the market’s neutral estimate of what something is worth, like the price two neighbors would settle on for a car after comparing similar listings. Investors care because fair market value guides buying and selling decisions, tax reporting, portfolio valuation, and how accurately company assets are reflected in financial statements.
