Context
Phantom Stock Units mirror the economic value of one share each but are not actual shares, carry no voting rights, and are payable only in cash after the director leaves service. This grant reflects a deferral of director compensation into a cash‑settled unit and should not be interpreted as an open‑market purchase or sale of common stock.
