BERNLOHR TIMOTHY J 4

What Happened
Timothy J. Bernlohr, a director of Smurfit Westrock plc, was granted 51 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 18, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as 51 shares at $0.00 (code A — award/grant). RSU grants are compensation awards (not open-market purchases) and are reported at $0 because they are not a cash purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-18; Form 4 filed: 2026-03-20.
• Transaction type: Award/Grant of RSUs (code A). Reported price: $0.00.
• Quantity granted: 51 restricted stock units (each RSU represents the right to receive one ordinary share).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Footnote F1: Additional RSUs accrued as dividend equivalents for the company’s quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share; those dividend-equivalent RSUs carry the same terms as the underlying award.
• Footnote F2: Filing notes inclusion of 4,422 restricted stock units that will vest on the earlier of May 2, 2026 or the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders.
• Timeliness: Filing appears timely (transaction 3/18; Form 4 filed 3/20).

Context
RSU grants are a common form of executive/director compensation and do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment. The awarded RSUs will convert to ordinary shares only upon vesting (and subject to any withholding), and the filing’s footnotes indicate both dividend-equivalent accruals and a larger pool of RSUs with near-term vesting.
