Context
- Phantom Stock Units are a form of deferred/derivative compensation that give the recipient the economic benefit of stock (and often dividend equivalents) without immediate issuance of shares; payment may occur later in stock or cash per plan terms. Such awards are routine for directors and are not the same as an open-market purchase that might signal a direct bullish investment.
