Alexander & Baldwin SVP Derek Kanehira Surrenders 21,001 RSUs in Merger
What Happened
Derek T. Kanehira, Senior Vice President of Alexander & Baldwin, had 4,349 and 16,652.39 restricted stock units (total 21,001.39 RSUs) cancelled and converted into cash at the effective time of the company’s March 12, 2026 merger. The Merger Agreement set the cash consideration at $20.85 per share, which implies gross proceeds of about $437,878 before any applicable withholding taxes. The Form 4 reports these as dispositions to the issuer (code D) with $0.00 per-share in the transaction lines because the RSUs were converted under the merger terms rather than sold on the open market.

Context
This was not an open-market sale but a corporate transaction: Alexander & Baldwin merged into a buyer (Tropic Purchaser LLC/merger sub) and outstanding RSU awards vested/converted per the Merger Agreement (cash-out). Such dispositions due to a merger are routine and reflect the deal terms rather than an insider’s immediate trading decision. Net cash received may be reduced by applicable withholding taxes as noted in the filing.
