Insights

Director received a routine phantom stock grant as deferred equity compensation, with no open-market buying or selling.

Ronald Sargent, a director of Wells Fargo & Company, received 494.5311 Phantom Stock Units coded as an acquisition grant (code A). This is equity compensation, not an open-market purchase, so it does not signal a discretionary buy or sell decision.

Each Phantom Stock Unit equals one share of common stock and is part of deferred compensation, payable in a lump sum or installments according to his election. Dividend equivalents are reinvested, which helps the position grow over time in line with company dividends.

After this grant, Sargent holds 71,135.2127 Phantom Stock Units, alongside 18,050 common shares held indirectly through a revocable trust and 81 shares held directly. Relative to these existing holdings, the new grant appears incremental and consistent with ongoing board compensation practices.

Phantom Stock Units financial
"Each Phantom Stock Unit represents the right to receive one share of Wells Fargo & Company common stock."
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.
Deferred compensation shares financial
"Deferred compensation shares payable in a lump sum or installments based upon director's election."
Dividend equivalents financial
"Includes dividend equivalents reinvested in additional Phantom Stock Units."
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.
Revocable Trust financial
"Indirect ownership of common stock is reported as Through Revocable Trust."
A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.
