PPG Director Michael Lamach Converts RSUs and Receives Phantom Units
What Happened
- Michael W. Lamach, a director of PPG Industries (PPG), reported converting 1,849 vested restricted stock units (RSUs) into phantom stock units on April 15, 2026, valued at $107.72 each for a total of $199,174. He deferred receipt of the underlying shares under PPG’s Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (so no open‑market sale occurred).

Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-04-15: Conversion of 1,849 RSUs into phantom stock — acquired value $107.72/share, total $199,174; the filing also shows a corresponding disposition of 1,849 RSUs as part of the deferral.
- 2026-04-16: Grant/award of 1,684 derivative units (reported at $0.00).
- Shares owned after the transaction: the filing does not state a post-transaction common stock balance; it reports phantom stock units held under the Deferred Compensation Plan (total units not shown in the excerpt).
- Notable footnotes:
- The RSUs vested on April 15, 2026 and were deferred into phantom stock units under the Plan (F1, F4).
- Phantom stock units convert to common stock one‑for‑one and represent interests in an unfunded fund of stock and cash (F2, F4).
- The 1,684 units appear tied to restricted stock unit awards that vest on April 14, 2027 (F5, F6).
- Filing timeliness: Reported April 17, 2026 for a 4/15/2026 transaction — within the typical two‑business‑day insider reporting window (no late filing indicated).
Context
- This was not an open‑market purchase or sale. The filing documents an internal deferral/conversion of vested RSUs into phantom units (a common director compensation election) plus a new award that vests later. Such derivative/deferral actions reflect compensation and election choices rather than straightforward buy/sell signals for stock sentiment.
