Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-30; Filing date: 2026-05-01 (timely filing).
- Award: 5.635 phantom stock units at $97.06 each; total value ≈ $547.
- Transaction type/code: Award (A); classified as a derivative instrument.
- Post-transaction share count: Not disclosed in this filing.
- Footnotes: F1 — the phantom shares convert to common stock on a 1-for-1 basis; F2 — units were granted under the Church & Dwight Deferred Compensation Plan and are to be settled in cash as prescribed by the Plan.
Context These are phantom (deferred compensation) units that mirror common stock value but, per the plan, will be settled in cash when distributed — so Buchert did not immediately receive tradable CHD shares. Such small-value awards are routine components of executive compensation and do not by themselves indicate a buying or selling signal.
