Context Phantom stock units are a form of deferred/director compensation that mirror the economic value of common shares but do not represent immediate share ownership or an open‑market purchase. Such awards are routine for non-employee directors and do not by themselves indicate a buy/sell signal. They will convert to an equity payout (or equivalent) per the Plan when settled.
