Context
Phantom stock under a deferred compensation plan represents credited units tied to the company’s stock value, payable later in shares (or equivalent). This is a compensation-related credit for a director and is not the same as a market purchase or sale; it should not be read as a direct buy/sell signal about immediate insider sentiment.
