Insights

TL;DR: Routine deferred-compensation settlement reported by an executive; no open-market purchase or sale disclosed.

The Form 4 documents an internal acquisition of phantom stock under Verizon’s deferred compensation plan rather than an open-market trade. The filing explicitly states the units are cash-settled and payable per the executive’s plan elections, and that dividend reinvestment contributed to the reported balance. From a governance perspective, this is a routine disclosure of executive compensation deferral and does not indicate a change in control or a transaction involving company equity being transferred on public markets.

TL;DR: Transaction is compensation-related and recorded as indirect beneficial ownership; it appears non-material to company capitalization.

The Form 4 records acquisition of 139.437 phantom stock units and shows a large indirect holding of 388,442.851 units via the deferred compensation plan. The disclosure includes a $12.41 figure associated with a 40-share line item and notes dividend reinvestment. There is no explicit cash purchase or sale on the open market, no exercise of equity awards for actual share issuance, and no change to outstanding common stock cited in this filing. Impact on share count or liquidity is not indicated in the document.
