Context
Phantom stock is a deferred compensation arrangement that gives the holder the economic equivalent of shares at a future payout date (here, payable in common stock upon termination of director service). This filing reflects a routine director deferral election rather than an active market buy or sell and does not by itself indicate a change in trading sentiment.
