[Form 4] Acco Brands Corporation Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 filing overview – ACCO Brands Corporation (ACCO)

On 18 June 2025, non-employee director Kathleen S. Dvorak acquired 5,541.2 restricted stock units (RSUs) under dividend-equivalent provisions of previously earned awards. The transaction, reported on 20 June 2025, was booked at $0 cost and was effected under the company’s Incentive Plan and Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. After the dividend-equivalent credit, Dvorak’s total derivative holdings rose to 258,959.03 RSUs, all held directly.

The RSUs are either immediately vested or vest after one year, but remain deferred until the earlier of the director’s death, disability, or departure from the board, at which time each unit converts 1-for-1 into ACCO common shares. No open-market purchases or sales of common stock were reported, and there is no cash consideration involved. The filing signals continued equity alignment but is not a discretionary share purchase.

Positive

• Director equity alignment strengthened: beneficial ownership rises to 258,959 RSUs, reinforcing long-term incentives.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Small, automatic RSU credit to director; neutral financial impact.

The 5,541-unit RSU accrual represents less than 3 % of Ms. Dvorak’s existing deferred share balance and involves no cash outlay, buyback, or market purchase. Because it stems from dividend-equivalent mechanics, the event does not change the company’s treasury position nor signal insider conviction through voluntary buying. Nevertheless, incremental ownership maintains board-management alignment, a mild governance positive. From a valuation or liquidity standpoint, the filing is immaterial and unlikely to influence share price.
