Context
Phantom stock units are a deferred compensation instrument that track the value of company shares but do not represent immediate share ownership; they typically convert to actual shares (here, 1-for-1 into Class A common stock) upon a triggering event (separation from the board). This award is routine director compensation and does not indicate a market purchase or sale.
