Phantom Stock financial
"security_title: "Phantom Stock""
A phantom stock is a form of compensation that gives employees or executives the benefits of stock ownership, such as the increase in stock value, without actually giving them real shares. It acts like a promise to pay the employee the equivalent value of company stock later, often as a bonus or incentive. This allows companies to motivate and reward staff without diluting ownership or transferring actual shares.
Phantom Units financial
"Each Phantom Unit represents an unfunded, unsecured right to receive a cash payment"
Phantom units are a form of employee compensation that mimics ownership in a company without issuing real shares: recipients receive cash or stock value tied to the company’s share price or performance when the units vest. They matter to investors because phantom units align employee incentives with shareholder value while avoiding share dilution; however, they create future cash obligations and can affect a company’s financial statements and cash flow.
Fair Market Value financial
"equal to the average Fair Market Value per share 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.
vesting date financial
"the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the applicable vesting date"
