Worthington (WOR) CEO Joseph B. Hayek Receives Phantom Stock Award
What Happened
- Joseph B. Hayek, President & CEO and director of Worthington Enterprises, was credited with 229.12 theoretical "phantom" WOR shares under the company's deferred compensation plan on March 25, 2026. The filing values the award at $49.51 per share for a total notional value of $11,344. This is an award/credit (A) of phantom stock — a form of deferred compensation — not an open‑market purchase or sale.
- This Form 4 is an amendment correcting an administrative error: the original filing had reported 188.03 phantom shares at $51.88 on March 24, 2026; the amended filing updates the record to 229.12 shares at $49.51 on March 25, 2026.
Key Details
- Transaction date and price: March 25, 2026 — 229.12 phantom shares at $49.51 each (total $11,344).
- Transaction type: Award/Grant (derivative — phantom stock).
- Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the amended filing.
- Notable footnotes: Phantom shares track WOR common shares one-for-one (F1); amendment corrects an administrative error (F2); phantom shares credited under the Plan generally cannot be transferred to other deemed investment options after Oct 1, 2014 and are distributed only in WOR shares upon departure (F3); the amount includes dividend reinvestment credits through Dec 31, 2025 (F4).
- Filing status: Amended filing to correct previously reported amounts (administrative correction).
Context
- Phantom stock is a deferred compensation unit that mirrors the economic value of common shares but is not an immediate open‑market purchase; distributions are made in actual WOR shares (generally when the participant leaves the company). This award reflects compensation crediting rather than a buy or sale that signals near‑term trading intent.

- [F2]This amendment is being filed to correct an administrative error and reflects that the original Form 4 should have reported 229.12 shares of phantom stock credited to the reporting person's account in the Plan on March 25, 2026 at a price of $49.51, as compared to the previously reported 188.03 shares of phantom stock credited to the reporting person's account on March 24, 2026 at a price of $51.88.
