[Form 3] Ball Corporation Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Ball Corporation (BALL) – Form 3 Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership

On 07/01/2025, newly appointed Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Daniel J. Rabbitt filed his first Form 3, formally placing him under Section 16 reporting rules. The filing does not record any open-market transactions; it simply discloses the securities he already owns.

• Direct common stock: 24,135.54 shares
• 401(k) plan holdings: 1,346 shares
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan: 3,996.82 shares
• Deferred compensation units: 20,567.9 units convertible 1-for-1 into common shares or cash upon separation
• Restricted Stock Units: 3,047 units with three- and four-year vesting schedules
• Equity awards: 436 Stock Appreciation Rights and 50,664 non-qualified stock options granted between 2018-2025; strike prices range from $38.38 to $86.57 and vest in four equal annual tranches

The disclosure highlights a sizeable personal stake that economically aligns the new CFO with shareholders but contains no information that would alter Ball Corporation’s financial outlook.

Positive

• Sizeable insider stake: disclosure shows the new CFO already controls ~29k shares plus options and units, aligning management incentives with shareholders.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Routine Form 3: CFO Rabbitt shows strong equity alignment; no trading, neutral corporate-governance impact.

This initial filing is mandatory because Rabbitt became a Section 16 officer on 1 July 2025. The data confirm that he already owns roughly 29k direct shares plus significant deferred and contingent equity—an above-average stake for a newly disclosed executive of Ball’s size. Such ownership generally incentivises long-term value creation and is viewed positively by governance analysts. However, because the form records no purchases or sales, there is no immediate signal about insider sentiment or near-term fundamentals. From a market perspective, the filing is informational and not likely to move the stock.
