Phantom Stock financial
"Each share of Phantom Stock is the economic equivalent of one share of issuer common stock."
A phantom stock is a form of compensation that gives employees or executives the benefits of stock ownership, such as the increase in stock value, without actually giving them real shares. It acts like a promise to pay the employee the equivalent value of company stock later, often as a bonus or incentive. This allows companies to motivate and reward staff without diluting ownership or transferring actual shares.
Supplemental Retirement Plan financial
"payable in cash from the Company's Supplemental Retirement Plan upon reporting person's retirement, resignation or termination."
dividend reinvestment financial
"Includes 413.05 shares acquired through dividend reinvestment since the reporting person's last report."
Dividend reinvestment is when the money earned from a company's profit sharing, called dividends, is automatically used to buy more shares of that company instead of being received as cash. This process helps investors grow their holdings over time without extra effort, much like using earned interest to buy more of a savings account. It encourages long-term investment growth by continuously increasing the amount of shares owned.
