Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Verizon Communications (VZ) – Form 4 filing, 07/31/2025

EVP & President, Global Networks & Technology Joseph J. Russo acquired 89.828 units of phantom stock through the company’s Deferred Compensation Plan. Phantom stock is cash-settled and represents the economic value of a portion of one VZ common share per unit; no actual shares were issued or traded.

  • Transaction code: A (acquisition)
  • Unit value: $12.20
  • Total phantom units now held: 66,091.065 (indirect ownership)
  • Units accrue via compensation deferral and dividend reinvestment; settlement occurs per plan elections.

The filing reflects routine executive compensation activity rather than open-market insider buying; therefore, it is unlikely to have a material impact on Verizon’s share count or market perception.

Verizon Communications (VZ) – Deposito Form 4, 31/07/2025

Il EVP e Presidente, Global Networks & Technology, Joseph J. Russo, ha acquisito 89.828 unità di phantom stock tramite il Piano di Compensazione Differita della società. Lo phantom stock è liquidato in contanti e rappresenta il valore economico di una frazione di un'azione ordinaria VZ per unità; non sono state emesse o scambiate azioni reali.

  • Codice transazione: A (acquisizione)
  • Valore unità: 12,20 $
  • Totale unità phantom attualmente detenute: 66.091,065 (proprietà indiretta)
  • Le unità maturano tramite differimento della retribuzione e reinvestimento dei dividendi; la liquidazione avviene secondo le scelte previste dal piano.

Il deposito riflette attività di compensazione esecutiva di routine piuttosto che acquisti da parte di insider sul mercato aperto; pertanto, è improbabile che abbia un impatto significativo sul numero di azioni Verizon o sulla percezione del mercato.

El EVP y Presidente de Redes Globales y Tecnología, Joseph J. Russo, adquirió 89.828 unidades de acciones fantasma a través del Plan de Compensación Diferida de la compañía. Las acciones fantasma se liquidan en efectivo y representan el valor económico de una parte de una acción común de VZ por unidad; no se emitieron ni negociaron acciones reales.

  • Código de transacción: A (adquisición)
  • Valor por unidad: 12,20 $
  • Total de unidades fantasma actualmente en posesión: 66.091,065 (propiedad indirecta)
  • Las unidades se acumulan mediante diferimiento de compensación y reinversión de dividendos; la liquidación se realiza según las elecciones del plan.

La presentación refleja una actividad rutinaria de compensación ejecutiva en lugar de compras internas en el mercado abierto; por lo tanto, es poco probable que tenga un impacto material en el número de acciones de Verizon o en la percepción del mercado.

Verizon Communications (VZ) – Form 4 제출, 2025년 7월 31일

글로벌 네트워크 및 기술 담당 EVP 겸 사장 Joseph J. Russo가 회사의 이연 보상 계획을 통해 89.828 단위의 팬텀 스톡을 취득했습니다. 팬텀 스톡은 현금으로 정산되며 단위당 VZ 보통주 1주의 경제적 가치를 나타냅니다; 실제 주식은 발행되거나 거래되지 않았습니다.

  • 거래 코드: A (취득)
  • 단위 가치: $12.20
  • 현재 보유 중인 총 팬텀 단위: 66,091.065 (간접 소유)
  • 단위는 보상 이연과 배당금 재투자를 통해 누적되며, 정산은 계획에 따른 선택에 따라 이루어집니다.

이 제출은 공개 시장에서의 내부자 매수보다는 일상적인 임원 보상 활동을 반영하므로, Verizon의 주식 수나 시장 인식에 중대한 영향을 미칠 가능성은 낮습니다.

Insights

TL;DR: Routine deferred-comp acquisition; negligible share impact.

The 89.8 phantom units add roughly $1.1k in notional value and lift Russo’s total exposure to ~66k units. Because phantom stock settles in cash, it does not affect dilution, float, or insider sentiment metrics often tracked by investors. The action signals continued executive alignment but remains immaterial to Verizon’s $150 bn+ market cap.

TL;DR: Standard DC plan credit; governance status quo.

Phantom stock grants under non-qualified deferred comp plans are common for senior Verizon officers. The filing satisfies Section 16 disclosure duties and shows no unusual patterns (no 10b5-1 notation, no accelerated vesting). Governance risk unchanged; impact rated neutral.
