Greif Director Mark Emkes Receives 2,143-Share Award

What Happened

• Mark A. Emkes, a director of Greif, Inc. (GEF, GEF-B), was granted 2,143 shares of Class A common stock as a restricted stock award (transaction code A) dated 2026-02-23. The award was reported at a $0.00 acquisition price (stock issued as compensation, not an open-market purchase). This Form 4 is an AMENDED filing correcting previously misreported beneficial ownership.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-23; reported acquisition of 2,143 shares at $0.00 per share (restricted award).
• Restriction/vesting: Shares are subject to restriction until the earlier of February 23, 2029, or the Reporting Person’s termination from the Board (retirement, death, or other reason). (Footnote F1)
• Amendment: The filing corrects the amount of Class A common stock beneficially owned that was misreported on the original Form 4 filed Feb 25, 2026. (Footnote F2)
• Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-08-05 for a 2026-02-23 transaction (late relative to the typical 2-business-day reporting requirement); this amended filing addresses the prior reporting error.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided excerpt; the amended filing corrects prior misreported ownership.

Context

• This was a restricted stock award to a non-employee director under the issuer’s outside directors’ equity award plan — a common form of director compensation. Awards issued at $0.00 are compensation grants, not open-market purchases or sales, and do not by themselves indicate the director’s market sentiment. The amendment and late filing correct the insider record and ensure accurate public disclosure.
