Context
Phantom stock units track the value of common shares but are typically settled in cash per the company’s deferred compensation plan, so this award does not represent an immediate acquisition of CHD common stock. Awards like this are common elements of executive compensation and should be viewed as compensation-related rather than direct insider buying or selling of company stock.
