What Happened

• Richard A. Dierker, President & CEO and Director of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD), was granted 46.346 phantom stock shares on 2026-03-31. The award is recorded at $93.32 per share for a total value of $4,325 and is reported as a derivative award (transaction code A). This was a compensation grant (award), not an open‑market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-31; Form filed: 2026-04-01 (timely filing).
• Instrument: phantom stock (derivative award) — 46.346 shares @ $93.32 = $4,325.
• Transaction code: A (Grant/Award).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Footnotes: F1 — phantom shares convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis; F2 — shares were granted under the Church & Dwight Deferred Compensation Plan and are to be settled in cash as prescribed by the Plan.

Context

• Phantom stock is a deferred-compensation derivative that tracks the value of common shares. In this case the filing notes both a 1-for-1 conversion to common stock (F1) and that the award is governed by the Deferred Compensation Plan and will be settled in cash per plan rules (F2). Because this is a compensation award (not a purchase), it should be viewed as executive pay rather than a direct bullish purchase signal.
