FAQ

What did FCX Chairman Richard C. Adkerson report in this Form 4?

Richard C. Adkerson reported a bona fide gift of 27,693 Freeport-McMoRan common shares. The transfer occurred when a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT) he established in March 2024 expired on March 7, 2026, moving shares to the trust’s remaindermen.

Was the 27,693-share FCX transaction a sale in the open market?

No, the 27,693-share transaction was reported as a bona fide gift, not an open-market sale. The shares moved from a GRAT to its remaindermen automatically at the GRAT’s March 7, 2026 expiration, with no price involved in the transfer.

How many FCX shares does Richard C. Adkerson hold after this gift?

After the reported gift, he holds 3,308,094 Freeport-McMoRan shares directly. He also holds 1,638,005 shares indirectly through GRATs and 192,330 shares indirectly via an IRA, giving him substantial ongoing equity exposure alongside his executive role.

What does the GRAT footnote in the FCX Form 4 explain?

The footnote explains that a GRAT formed on March 7, 2024 transferred 27,693 shares to its remaindermen when it expired on March 7, 2026. This clarifies the movement as a scheduled trust event, rather than a discretionary trade in Freeport-McMoRan stock.

What RSU holdings for FCX does Richard C. Adkerson report?

He reports beneficial ownership including 1,091,500 restricted stock units (RSUs) in Freeport-McMoRan. Of these, 1,000,000 RSUs are vested but deferred, meaning they have vested based on plan terms but delivery of underlying shares is postponed to a future date.

How should investors interpret this FCX insider Form 4 activity?

The filing reflects a planned GRAT expiration and resulting gift of 27,693 shares, not a market sale. Adkerson continues to hold several million FCX shares directly and indirectly, along with over one million RSUs, so his overall equity exposure remains significant.
