GOTTWALD JOHN D 4

What Happened
John D. Gottwald, a reported 10% owner of Tredegar Corp (TG), sold a total of 5,484 shares in two open-market transactions: 1,023 shares on Feb 20, 2026 at a reported price of $8.81 (proceeds $9,009) and 4,461 shares on Feb 23, 2026 at a reported price of $8.80 (proceeds $39,270). Combined proceeds reported equal approximately $48,279. These were sales (not purchases) and are generally treated as routine insider selling rather than a bullish signal.

Context

• As a 10% owner, Gottwald’s trades reflect large-holder activity rather than routine executive compensation transactions. Sales by large holders can be for many reasons (liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, estate/trust needs) and should not be taken alone as a signal of company fundamentals.
• No options were exercised, no gifts or awards reported; these were straightforward open-market sales (transaction code S).
