Context

Phantom shares are derivative awards that pay cash on vesting based on the company’s share price; these transactions represent cash settlements of such awards rather than an open‑market sale of common stock. The conversion and immediate settlement are functionally a cash payment to the insider, not a purchase of common shares.
