"Represents an annual equity grant as part of the Reporting Person's non-management director compensation."
phantom stock units financial
"Balance adjusted to reflect phantom stock units acquired as dividend equivalents on deferred stock units."
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 stock units financial
"Balance adjusted to reflect phantom stock units acquired as dividend equivalents on deferred stock units."
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
