in-kind distribution financial

"as an in-kind distribution from the Frederick G. Smith AFS 2025, Series I Irrevocable Trust"

A distribution of value to shareholders or beneficiaries made by transferring assets instead of paying cash, such as shares, bonds, or property. Like receiving a box of goods rather than money, it changes what you hold rather than adding liquid funds; investors care because it affects a portfolio’s composition, liquidity, tax reporting, and cost basis for the received assets.

annuity payment financial

"in satisfaction of an annuity payment"

pecuniary interest financial

"without changing the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest"

sole annuitant financial

"The Reporting Person is the settlor and sole annuitant of the trust"
