Phantom stock units financial
"Phantom stock units convert to common stock on a one-for-one basis."
Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.
Directors Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"through director retainer fee deferral under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Directors Deferred Compensation Plan"
A directors deferred compensation plan lets a board member postpone receiving part or all of their cash fees or stock-based pay until a future date, often retirement, allowing taxes to be delayed and payouts to be structured over time. Investors care because these plans change a company’s future cash obligations and reveal how the board’s pay is aligned with long-term performance—like choosing to take a paycheck later to tie personal reward to the company’s future results.
dividend reinvestment financial
"Holdings as of reportable transaction date include additional acquisitions through dividend reinvestment."
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.
Section 16(b) regulatory
"exempt under Section 16(b). Units are settled in cash upon the reporting person's retirement"
A federal rule that requires company insiders—like officers, directors and large shareholders—to return any profits made from buying and selling the company’s stock within a six-month window. It matters to investors because it discourages short-term trades that could exploit non-public information and helps protect outside shareholders by creating a simple, enforceable way to recover unfair gains, much like a rule stopping someone from flipping a limited-edition item for quick profit after getting early access.
Directors Equity Plan financial
"previously acquired stock units under the Lockheed Martin Corporation Amended and Restated Directors Equity Plan"
