Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: The transaction value of approximately $7,806 is negligible for a company with a market capitalization of $21.77 billion.
• Ownership Concentration: The director's total holding of 8,360.75 phantom stock units represents a very small fraction (<0.01%) of the total shares outstanding, indicating low ownership concentration from this insider.
• Dilution Impact: The grant of 75.3962 units has a de minimis dilutive effect on the 225.7 million shares outstanding.
• Transaction Significance: Based on the transaction's value as a percentage of market cap and shares as a percentage of total outstanding, the event is considered routine and not significant.

Additional Context

Transaction Notes

• Special Circumstances: The transaction involves phantom stock units acquired under the PPG Industries, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors. These units convert to common stock on a one-for-one basis after the director's service terminates. This is a standard compensation structure and not an open-market transaction.
