Context
- This was an awarded grant under Ingredion’s SERP, not an open-market purchase or sale. Phantom stock units are a form of deferred/phantom compensation that gives the right to receive shares (or cash equivalent) later; they do not represent immediate open-market buying pressure. The filing shows a routine compensation award rather than an insider buying/selling signal.
