Emery Christina 4

What Happened

• Christina Emery, President of Barings Corporate Investors (MCI), recorded an acquisition of 43.386 notional shares on 2026-05-14. The transaction is reported as an "Other acquisition or disposition (J)" of a derivative investment option priced at $17.32 per unit, with a notional value of approximately $751.
• This was an allocation into a non‑qualified deferred compensation plan option that tracks MCI common-share value rather than a purchase of actual shares. It is an acquisition (not a sale), but represents a small, notional allocation rather than an outright equity purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-05-14 at $17.32 per notional share; total notional value ≈ $751.
• Shares reported in this transaction: 43.386 notional units.
• Shares owned after transaction: the filing does not state a total share count after this allocation.
• Footnotes: (F1/F2) The units are part of a non‑qualified deferred compensation plan. They are not actual company shares, may be exercisable or payable only upon termination/retirement or other plan events, and the plan and participants do not hold legal title to underlying common shares.
• Timeliness: Transaction dated 2026-05-14; Form 4 filed 2026-05-15 (appears timely).

Context

• These notional units track the market value (and reinvested dividends) of MCI common shares for plan accounting but do not confer legal ownership of stock. Such deferred-compensation allocations are routine executive compensation actions and do not necessarily signal a direct change in insider sentiment.
