Barings Corporate Investors President Emery Acquires Notional Shares

What Happened

Christina Emery, President of Barings Corporate Investors, recorded an acquisition on 2026-07-09 of 43.311 notional shares at $17.35 per share, a derivative transaction with an aggregate value of approximately $751. The filing lists the transaction as code “J” (other acquisition or disposition) and classifies the position as a derivative tied to company common shares rather than an actual share transfer.

Key Details

Transaction date: 2026-07-09; filing date: 2026-07-10 (timely).
Instrument & amount: 43.311 shares (derivative) @ $17.35, total ≈ $751.
Transaction code: J — other acquisition/disposition (derivative).
Footnotes: The entry reflects participation in a non‑qualified deferred compensation plan (F1/F2). The plan’s investment option is valued by reference to BCI common shares but the plan and participant do not own actual shares; payouts/exercisability occur only on termination, retirement, or other plan‑permitted events. Plan holdings may be reallocated by participants.
Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing summary.

Context

This was an allocation into a deferred-compensation investment option that tracks the company’s stock value (a notional or bookkeeping position), not a market purchase of shares. Such entries are typically routine and reflect compensation deferral choices rather than open‑market buying or selling of stock.

Footnotes (2)

[F1]Exercisable only upon termination, retirement, or other plan permitted event. Plan holdings may be "liquidated" and reallocated into other plan investment options by the plan participant. The derivative has no actual securities underlying the plan agreement, which is entirely notional.
[F2]Barings LLC (fka Babson Capital Management LLC) and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company each offer a non-qualified compensation deferral plan where certain officers are permitted to defer a portion of their compensation into the plans. Deferred compensation into a plan is allocated among one or more investment options at the election of the plan participant. Each plan has an investment option that derives its value from the market value of Barings Corporate Investors' common shares (and includes the value of reinvested dividends). However, pursuant to the terms of the plans, neither the plans nor the participants have an actual ownership interest in the common shares. The shares beneficially owned include the number of shares of Barings Corporate Investors represented by the value of the Barings Corporate Investors investment option under the plan held by the plan participant.
