Smurfit Westrock (SW) Director Carol Fairweather Receives Award

What Happened
Carol Fairweather, a director of Smurfit Westrock plc (SW), received a grant of 48 restricted stock units (RSUs) on September 10, 2026. The award was recorded at $0.00 cash paid; each RSU represents the right to receive one ordinary share upon vesting. This was an equity compensation award (code A), not a market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-10; Form 4 filed: 2026-09-14.
• Award: 48 RSUs granted at $0.00 (no cash paid).
• Each RSU equals one ordinary share when delivered upon vesting.
• Footnote F1: Additional RSUs were credited as dividend equivalents tied to the issuer’s quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share; those additional RSUs carry the same terms as the underlying award.
• Footnote F2: The filing notes 4,537 RSUs that will vest on the earlier of (i) May 1, 2027, or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders.
• No sale or purchase of shares occurred—this is a compensation grant and should be viewed as routine director compensation, not a direct market signal.

Context: Restricted stock unit grants are common forms of executive/director compensation. RSUs convert to actual shares only when they vest (subject to the award’s conditions); dividend equivalents increase the RSU count but do not involve immediate cash proceeds.
