  1. These phantom stock units, which were acquired pursuant to the Zoetis Supplemental Savings Plan, are settled in cash following the reporting person's separation from service and may be transferred by the reporting person into an alternative investment fund at any time, provided Zoetis may limit the timing, frequency and permissibility of transfers from one investment fund to another at any time. Each phantom stock unit represents a fraction of a phantom share of Zoetis common stock, plus a small amount of cash-equivalent investments (the cash-equivalent investments typically represent around 5% of the total value of the phantom stock unit). Accordingly, the value of each phantom stock unit is determined by reference to the market value of Zoetis common stock and the value of the cash-equivalent investments.

What is a phantom stock unit in the Zoetis (ZTS) Form 4 filing?

A phantom stock unit is a cash-settled award whose value is based on Zoetis common stock plus cash-equivalent investments. It does not represent actual shares or voting rights. The value tracks Zoetis’ share price and a small cash component, typically around 5% of the total value.

Does Zoetis (ZTS) CFO’s phantom stock grant involve real shares?

The reported phantom stock grant does not involve issuing real Zoetis shares. The units are settled entirely in cash after the executive’s separation from service, and their value is determined by Zoetis’ stock price and a small cash-equivalent portion, rather than delivering voting equity.

Is the Zoetis (ZTS) CFO Form 4 transaction a stock buy or sale?

The Form 4 transaction is an acquisition of phantom stock units as a compensation award, not a market buy or sale of Zoetis shares. It reflects routine executive compensation through the Zoetis Supplemental Savings Plan, with future cash settlement tied to Zoetis’ stock performance.

How is the value of the Zoetis (ZTS) phantom stock units determined?

Each phantom stock unit’s value is based on a fraction of a phantom share of Zoetis common stock plus cash-equivalent investments. The cash-equivalent portion usually represents about 5% of total value, so the overall unit value tracks Zoetis’ share price and these cash-like holdings.
