FORD JOE T 4

What Happened
Joe T. Ford, a director of Westrock Coffee Co. (WEST), was granted 10,798 restricted stock units (RSUs) on June 5, 2026. The RSUs were awarded at a grant price of $0.00 (total reported value $0 at grant). These RSUs represent the contingent right to receive one share of common stock per RSU and will vest on June 5, 2027, subject to continued board service and certain early-vesting conditions (see footnote F1). This is a compensation award (not a purchase or sale) and does not result in immediate shares being issued.

Context
RSU grants are a common form of director/executive compensation; they do not create immediate tradable shares until they vest and are settled. A $0 grant price for RSUs is typical because the award represents a future right to shares rather than an outright purchase. This filing documents the award, not a market purchase or sale, so it should not be read as an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.
