Context These entries reflect corporate-merger conversions and settlements rather than open-market buying or selling for personal liquidity. The grant/award line records conversion of issuer RSUs into Rayonier RSU awards per the merger terms, and the dispositions reflect surrender/settlement of PCH securities at the Effective Time. Such merger-driven conversions are routine corporate actions and do not necessarily signal the insider’s view of the combined company’s prospects.
