Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-30; Form 4 filed: 2026-07-02 (appears timely).
• Price reported: $0.00 per share; shares acquired: 1,049.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the supplied filing details.
• Footnote: "Includes shares acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Avient Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors."
• Transaction type/code: Award/other acquisition (A) — not a market purchase or sale.

Context

• Dividend reinvestment via a deferred compensation plan is a routine, non-cash way for directors to receive additional shares and is generally considered administrative rather than a strong buy/sell signal.
• The $0 reporting reflects plan accounting; it does not indicate the market value of the shares at the time of acquisition.
