What Happened

- Shares reported in filing after transfer: 55,000 shares are held of record by the trust (per footnote F1). The filing also discloses 23,263,104 shares held of record by Westrock Group, LLC (footnote F2).

- Notable footnotes:
- F1: 55,000 shares were transferred to a trust on Feb 3, 2026; Mr. Ford is trustee and disclaims beneficial ownership over trust shares to the extent he has no pecuniary interest.
- F2: 23,263,104 shares are held of record by Westrock Group, LLC; Greenbrier Holdings, LLC manages Westrock Group, and Scott T. Ford is sole member/manager of Greenbrier, so he may be deemed to exercise control; he also disclaims beneficial ownership where no pecuniary interest exists.
Context
Gifts and intra-family trust transfers are often estate-planning or family-ownership moves and do not necessarily reflect trading sentiment. This filing also involves entities through which Mr. Ford exercises managerial/control relationships (Westrock Group / Greenbrier), so holdings and control can differ from direct beneficial ownership. The late filing is a compliance note for investors tracking timely insider disclosures.
