4 terms

Phantom Stock (unitized) financial

"Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of a portion of one share of common stock"

Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"The shares of phantom stock become payable upon events established by the reporting person in accordance with the 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.

dividend reinvestment financial

"Includes phantom stock acquired through dividend reinvestment."

Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
