What are phantom stock units in PPG (PPG) executive compensation?

When do PPG (PPG) phantom stock units held by Alisha Bellezza convert to common stock?

The phantom stock units are designed to convert to PPG common stock on a one-for-one basis after termination of employment with PPG. Until then, they remain as deferred compensation entries that track the value of a unitized company stock fund rather than freely tradable shares.

After this grant, Alisha Bellezza holds a total of 156.5686 phantom stock units in PPG’s Deferred Compensation Plan. That figure can change over time as the fair market value of PPG stock and the amount of cash in the underlying unitized stock fund move up or down.

Does this PPG (PPG) phantom stock unit award involve open-market buying or selling?
