Phantom Units financial
"Each phantom unit is the economic equivalent of one common unit."
Phantom units are a form of employee compensation that mimics ownership in a company without issuing real shares: recipients receive cash or stock value tied to the company’s share price or performance when the units vest. They matter to investors because phantom units align employee incentives with shareholder value while avoiding share dilution; however, they create future cash obligations and can affect a company’s financial statements and cash flow.
distribution equivalent rights financial
"Award includes tandem distribution equivalent rights to receive an amount in cash concurrently with and equal to the quarterly per common unit cash distribution."
