Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sempra director Michael N. Mears received a grant of 1,498.77 phantom shares, each economically equivalent to one share of Sempra common stock. This award increased his phantom share balance to 22,429.06, including 20,930.29 vested phantom shares previously acquired as deferred compensation for board service.

The new phantom shares are subject to forfeiture if his service as a director ends before Sempra's 2027 Annual Shareholders Meeting, except in cases of death, disability, or removal without cause. Vested phantom shares and related dividend equivalents are paid in cash after his separation from board service, making this a routine form of non-cash director compensation rather than an open-market stock purchase or sale.

Phantom Shares financial
"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of Sempra Common Stock."
Phantom shares are a form of employee or executive compensation that mimics the economic value of owning company stock without actually issuing real shares; holders receive cash or equivalent payments tied to the company’s share price or dividends. Think of it like a receipt that pays out if the stock rises — it aligns managers’ interests with shareholders but does not dilute ownership, while creating a future cash obligation that investors should watch as it can affect company cash flow and valuation.
dividend equivalents financial
"Vested phantom shares plus reinvested dividend equivalents are paid to the director in cash following separation of service."
Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.
deferred compensation financial
"Includes 20,930.29 vested phantom shares acquired as deferred compensation for service as a director, which are not subject to forfeiture."
Deferred compensation is pay that employees or executives have earned now but will receive at a later date, such as delayed bonuses, retirement benefits, or stock grants. It matters to investors because it creates future obligations and shapes incentives—like a promise to pay later that can affect a company’s reported profits, cash needs and potential stock dilution—so it helps signal how a business manages costs and retains key people.
subject to forfeiture financial
"Shares are subject to forfeiture if service as a director terminates for any reason other than death, disability or removal without cause prior to Sempra's 2027 Annual Shareholders Meeting."
