Celanese (CE) Director Edward G. Galante Receives Restricted Stock & Phantom Shares

What Happened

Edward G. Galante, a director of Celanese Corporation, was granted 4,676 restricted stock units (RSUs) and 3.429 shares of phantom stock on May 11, 2026. The RSUs were granted at a $0.00 price (award), and the phantom shares are reported at $59.55 each for a reported value of $204 (derivative).
These were awards (transaction code A), not open‑market purchases or sales — routine compensation rather than an outright purchase or sale.

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-05-11; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-13 (timely within the normal two-business-day filing window).
RSUs: 4,676 shares granted; price reported $0.00 (award).
Phantom stock: 3.429 shares reported at $59.55 each = $204 (derivative value shown).
Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
Footnotes of note:
- F1: The RSUs are an annual grant and vest in full one year after the grant date.
- F2: Each phantom share represents the right to one share of common stock.
- F3: The phantom shares represent dividend equivalents under the 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan and become payable in shares after the director’s service terminates.

Context

RSU and phantom stock grants are standard director compensation and do not indicate an immediate market purchase or sale. The RSUs vest on a one‑year schedule, while the phantom/dividend‑equivalent shares are payable upon termination of service, so these are not immediately tradable shares.
