Insights
Director’s PotlatchDeltic shares were converted into Rayonier stock and cash as part of a completed merger, not sold on the open market.
Director Mark D. Leland reported a disposition of 31,114.117 PotlatchDeltic common shares coded "D" on January 30, 2026. The price per share is shown as $0.00, indicating this reflects a structural change rather than a voluntary trade.
The filing explains that PotlatchDeltic merged into a Rayonier subsidiary under an October 13, 2025 Merger Agreement. At the effective time, each PotlatchDeltic share became the right to receive 1.8185 Rayonier common shares plus $0.61 in cash, with additional fractional share consideration. Outstanding restricted stock units similarly converted into Rayonier RSU awards based on an exchange ratio and remain governed by the pre‑existing equity plan terms.
This makes the Form 4 primarily mechanical documentation of merger consideration and equity rollover, rather than a discretionary insider sale or purchase. The event is routine in the context of a completed all‑stock‑plus‑cash acquisition, so the standalone investment impact of this filing is neutral.
