Great Lakes Dredge (GLDD) SVP Eleni Beyko Receives Award, Sells Shares

What Happened

  • Eleni Beyko, SVP — Offshore Energy, recorded two Form 4 transactions on April 1, 2026 tied to the company’s merger. A performance-based award of 25,505 shares (A) vested at the Effective Time and 151,312 shares were disposed in a change of control (U). Under the Merger Agreement, each outstanding GLDD share was converted into $17.00 cash. That implies approximately $433,585 for the 25,505 vested award and approximately $2,572,304 for the 151,312-share disposition (combined ≈ $3,005,889). The Form 4 lists prices as N/A because the shares were cashed out in the merger rather than sold on the open market.

Context

  • This was not an open-market sale — shares were converted to cash because of a change-of-control (merger) rather than voluntary insider selling. Awards vested and/or were cashed out per the Merger Agreement. Such merger-driven dispositions reflect transaction mechanics (cash-out) and should not be interpreted as a straightforward insider sentiment trade.
