Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine Section 16 disclosure documenting trust-related acquisition and deferred comp holdings; no new open-market purchases disclosed.

The Form 4 records a change in trustee status resulting in recognition of 5,000 Trust-held shares dated 09/13/2019 that were omitted in earlier filings and now reported as acquired by the Trust. It also shows a 44,635 share disposition and multiple indirect holdings totaling tens of thousands of shares, plus 33,470 shares attributable to the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. These items are descriptive of ownership structure and deferred compensation elections rather than contemporaneous market transactions by the reporting person.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Disclosure corrects prior omission and documents estate/trust and deferred-comp relationships; governance implications are procedural.

The filing clarifies beneficial ownership after the reporting person became co-trustee of the Robert Ching Wo Trust 1985 and disclaims beneficial ownership beyond pecuniary interest for those Trust shares. The inadvertent omission language and the use of a power of attorney signature on 08/18/2025 are notable from a compliance perspective; they indicate corrective reporting rather than evidence of undisclosed trading intent. The deferred compensation holdings are reported as indirect and payable at termination or earlier at the director's option.
