Context
Phantom shares are a cash-settled deferred compensation vehicle that tracks stock value; they do not represent actual shares with voting rights until (if) converted/settled. This is a routine deferred-compensation credit rather than an open-market purchase of common stock, so it does not carry the same signal as an outright buy of shares.
