Insights
TL;DR: Routine disclosure of notional plan holdings tied to MCI shares; no change in actual share ownership disclosed.
This Form 4 documents a J-code transaction reflecting participation in a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whose value is linked to MCI common shares. The instrument is explicitly not actual equity and is exercisable only upon termination or other plan events, which limits immediate economic exposure and voting rights. The filing meets Section 16 reporting requirements and provides transparency on officer-linked plan allocations but does not indicate an open-market purchase or sale of MCI common stock.
TL;DR: Disclosure is informational and procedural; it signals internal compensation deferral activity rather than active insider trading.
The report shows the reporting person holds a notional derivative equivalent of 88.6885 shares valued at $21.38, with 8,817.56 shares of beneficial interest reported post-transaction. Because the instrument is plan-based and not actual share ownership, governance implications such as voting or direct control are not changed. The filing is consistent with routine disclosures for deferred compensation arrangements linked to company stock performance.
