Coterra (CTRA) Director Hans Helmerich Disposes Shares in Merger
What Happened
Hans Helmerich, a director of Coterra Energy Inc. (CTRA), reported dispositions of a total 1,865,644 CTRA shares on 2026-05-07. Each disposition is reported at $0.00 (total proceeds $0) because the shares were converted under the merger agreement into shares of Devon Energy rather than sold for cash.
