Form 4 filing overview — Preformed Line Products Co. (PLPC)
Director Michael E. Gibbons reported one transaction dated 07/01/2025 under the company’s Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Gibbons elected to defer 2025 director fees, causing the company to credit a rabbi trust with 117 common shares of PLPC at an acquisition price of $159.81 per share. Following the credit, the trust holds 14,608 shares on Mr. Gibbons’ behalf. A separate line shows 2,961 common shares with a disposition marker (D), but the filing does not provide a transaction date, price, or narrative for this item.
