Insights

Compensation Analyst

Director received 326.4604 phantom units valued at $104.09 each.

These units are part of the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and reflect non‑cash long-term compensation that converts to common stock one‑for‑one upon termination of service. The acquisition increases the reporting person’s direct beneficial ownership to 2,817.6136 shares or equivalents, showing continued alignment of the director’s pay with shareholder value.

The filing explicitly states unit balances can change with the plan’s fund fair value and cash components, so the reported share equivalent is a snapshot tied to the plan accounting rather than a fixed grant of common shares.

Corporate Governance Expert

Transaction is a routine director deferred‑compensation conversion, not an open‑market trade.

The use of phantom stock units indicates the company compensates directors with unitized interests that mirror stock performance without immediate share issuance. The disclosure confirms direct beneficial ownership and the conversion timing (upon termination of service), which is governance‑relevant for dilution and insider ownership analysis.
