Context
- This was not an open-market sale but a merger conversion—a routine corporate transaction that converts old-company shares into new-company shares and cash per the deal terms. Such dispositions in a merger do not by themselves signal insider sentiment about the combined company.
- For holders of RSUs, the filing notes RSUs were converted into Rayonier RSUs (subject to original plan/vesting terms), so some equity awards will continue under Rayonier rather than being cashed out.
