Context
Phantom stock awards are a form of deferred compensation and do not involve an immediate cash purchase or sale of company shares. They give the holder the right to receive common stock (or cash for fractions) in the future and are routine for non-employee directors; they should be viewed as compensation treatment rather than a direct buy/sell signal.
