The Phantom Shares Agreement serves as a crucial instrument for companies operating in the Philippines who wish to offer equity-linked incentives without transferring actual ownership stakes. This document type is particularly valuable for private companies, subsidiaries of multinational corporations, or organizations with restricted share transfer capabilities. The agreement outlines the complete framework for a phantom shares arrangement, including grant terms, vesting conditions, valuation methods, and payment procedures, all while ensuring compliance with Philippine corporate law, securities regulations, and tax requirements. It provides a flexible alternative to traditional equity compensation, allowing companies to motivate and retain key talent while maintaining existing ownership structures.
