Costamare (CMRE) CEO Konstantakopoulos Receives 74,800 Shares

What Happened Konstantakopoulos Konstantinos, Chairman and CEO of Costamare Inc. (CMRE), reported an acquisition of 74,800 shares on 2026-06-30 via an "other acquisition or disposition (J)" entry. No per-share price is reported (N/A), because this was a quarterly share distribution under an Amended and Restated Services Agreement dated May 6, 2025, not an open-market purchase. The shares are held through related entities controlled or owned by the reporting person.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-30; Form 4 filed: 2026-10-01 (late filing).
• Transaction type/code: Other acquisition or disposition (J); 74,800 shares acquired; price: N/A.
• Ownership after transaction: The filing identifies the shares as owned directly by related entities (Costamare Shipping Company S.A.; Longshaw Maritime Investments S.A.; Kent Maritime Investments S.A.), and a quarterly distribution to Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (reporting person is a 50% owner). The Form 4 excerpt does not state a consolidated total of shares held by the insider after the transaction.
• Footnotes: F1 describes the quarterly distribution under the services agreement; F2–F4 state that reported shares are held directly by entities owned by the reporting person.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed roughly three months after the transaction date, so this is a late report (reduces near-term transparency).

Context This was a contractual share distribution to entities tied to the CEO rather than an open-market buy or sale, so it does not carry the same direct market-confidence signal as a personal purchase. For retail investors, note the shares are held via related companies rather than shown as direct personal ownership; treat this as an internal distribution under a services agreement rather than a straightforward bullish insider buy.
