Context

• These are phantom stock units (derivative awards) that track the economic value of Quanex common stock and are typically paid in cash under the deferred compensation plan; they do not represent immediate share issuance or an open-market purchase.
• Awards to non-employee directors as part of deferred compensation are common and often routine compensation, not direct signals of immediate trading intent.
