Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PPG Industries senior vice president Anne M. Foulkes received a small compensation-related grant of phantom stock units tied to the company’s common stock. She acquired 0.5946 phantom stock units at a reference price of $107.72 per unit, increasing her total phantom stock holdings in the deferred compensation plan to 765.8144 units.

Each phantom stock unit is designed to convert into one share of PPG common stock on a one-for-one basis after termination of employment. The units represent interests in an unfunded company stock fund made up of PPG stock and cash, so the number of units attributed to her may change over time with movements in PPG’s share price and cash levels in the fund. This is not an open-market stock purchase or sale, but part of a deferred compensation arrangement.

Phantom Stock Units financial
"The security converts to common stock on a one-for-one basis."
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 financial
"Total of all phantom stock units held by the reporting person in the PPG Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan."
A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.
unfunded unitized company stock fund financial
"Phantom stock units represent interests in an unfunded unitized company stock fund comprised of stock and cash."

Are the PPG (PPG) phantom stock units an open-market stock purchase or sale?

No, the phantom stock units are not an open-market transaction. They are a grant under PPG’s deferred compensation plan, representing units linked to a company stock fund of PPG shares and cash, rather than actual shares bought or sold on the market.

How do PPG (PPG) phantom stock units convert into common stock?

Each phantom stock unit converts into one share of PPG common stock on a one-for-one basis. According to the filing, this conversion occurs after the executive’s termination of employment with PPG, aligning the deferred compensation with the company’s long-term share performance.

What is Anne Foulkes’ total phantom stock position in PPG’s deferred compensation plan?

After the reported grant, Anne Foulkes holds 765.8144 phantom stock units in PPG’s deferred compensation plan. These units track the value of an unfunded, unitized company stock fund, which consists of PPG common stock and cash, so attributed units may fluctuate over time.

Why can the number of PPG (PPG) phantom stock units change without the executive’s action?

The filing explains that phantom stock units represent interests in an unfunded, unitized company stock fund of PPG stock and cash. As the fair market value of PPG common stock and the cash balance change, the number of units attributed to the participant may adjust without any voluntary transaction.
