Key Details

• Transaction date and value: 2026-06-10 — 924.8 phantom shares @ $48.99 each; total $45,306.
• Transaction type: A (Grant/Award) — derivative phantom stock, not immediate common-stock ownership.

• Filing date: 2026-06-12 — filed two days after the transaction (appears timely).

  • These phantom shares were acquired via a quarterly dividend in the directors' deferred compensation plan and will be settled upon the reporting person's retirement or other termination of service.

Context

• This is a deferred-compensation award (derivative phantom stock) that provides economic exposure to Sonoco shares but will be settled later — it does not represent an immediate open-market purchase or sale.
• Such awards are routine for directors and reflect compensation mechanics rather than an explicit buy or sell signal.
