Context
- This was an award of phantom stock units (deferred compensation), not a market purchase or sale. Phantom units track the value of PPG stock and may change with the stock’s fair market value; they represent an unfunded interest in a unitized stock/cash fund (Footnote F3). Such grants are typically compensation-related and do not by themselves indicate the insider buying or selling stock in the open market.
