Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-27; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-03-02.
• Grant: 22.321 phantom stock units at $104.86 per unit; total notional value ≈ $2,341.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnotes:
  • The phantom stock units convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis (F1).
  • The units were granted under the Church & Dwight Deferred Compensation Plan and are to be settled in cash at the time(s) prescribed by that plan (F2), so they may not result in immediate share issuance.
• Transaction code: A (award/grant — derivative).

Context This is a compensation-related grant (phantom stock under a deferred comp plan), a routine non-market transaction that reflects company pay practices rather than a direct buy or sell signal. Because the award is set to be settled in cash under the plan, it does not necessarily increase Linares’s current voting shares outstanding.
