FergusonMchugh MaryLynn 4

What Happened

• MaryLynn FergusonMchugh, a director of Smurfit Westrock plc (SW), received an award of 51 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-03-18. The RSUs were granted at $0.00 per share (no cash purchase); each RSU represents the right to receive one ordinary share upon vesting.
• This was a compensation-related grant (transaction code A), not an open-market purchase or sale, so it reflects an award rather than a direct buy/sell signal for the market.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-03-18; filing date: 2026-03-20 (filed within the usual two-business-day window).
• Price: $0.00 per RSU; total immediate cash value reported = $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided excerpt of the Form 4.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: The award includes additional RSUs that accrued as dividend equivalents tied to the issuer’s quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share; dividend equivalents follow the same terms as the underlying award.
  • F2: The filing notes it includes 4,422 RSUs that will vest on the earlier of May 2, 2026 or the date of the next annual shareholders’ meeting.
• Timeliness: No late filing indicated.

Context

• RSUs are a form of equity compensation; recipients receive shares (or their cash equivalent) only when RSUs vest. Such awards reflect company compensation practices and are not the same as an insider purchasing shares on the open market.
• Because this transaction is an award/grant, it should be interpreted as compensation-related rather than a direct indicator of personal buying or selling intent.
