[Form 4] Smurfit Westrock plc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Smurfit Westrock plc President and Group CEO Anthony P.J. Smurfit reported routine equity compensation and related tax withholding. He received 973 restricted stock units as dividend equivalents tied to a quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share, plus a grant of 780 ordinary shares.

The filing notes that 19 ordinary shares were withheld to cover tax obligations upon vesting and settlement of these dividend equivalents, rather than sold in the market.

An additional 1,000 ordinary shares are held by his child; he disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares.

Insights

Equity compensation and governance analyst

Routine stock awards and small tax withholding; no open-market trading signal.

Anthony P.J. Smurfit, President and Group CEO of Smurfit Westrock plc, reported standard equity compensation activity. He received 973 restricted stock units as dividend equivalents on a quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share, plus 780 directly granted ordinary shares.

The Form 4 also shows 19 ordinary shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations on these dividend-equivalent vestings, coded as an F transaction. This is a mechanical tax payment, not an open-market sale. Following these transactions, he holds 1,726,185 ordinary shares and 83,969 restricted stock units vesting in February 2027.

The filing includes 1,000 ordinary shares held by his child, with an explicit disclaimer of beneficial ownership. Overall, the scale of these movements is small relative to his total holdings and reflects routine compensation and tax treatment rather than a change in his economic exposure or a directional view on the stock.

Explanation of Responses:

1. In accordance with the terms of the restricted stock unit award, additional restricted stock units accrued as dividend equivalents in connection with the Issuer's payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.4523 per ordinary share. Such additional restricted stock units are subject to the same terms and conditions as the underlying award. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one ordinary share.

2. Reflects ordinary shares of Smurfit Westrock plc withheld to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligation upon the vesting and settlement of dividend equivalents, which accrued on 18 March 2026. Since these dividend equivalents were associated with restricted stock units that vested and settled on 12 March 2026, the dividend equivalents immediately vested and settled on 19 March 2026 in accordance with the terms of the associated restricted stock unit award.

3. These shares are held by the Reporting Person's child who is part of the Reporting Person's household. The Reporting Person disclaims ownership of the shares held by this child, and this report is not an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of these shares for the purposes of Section 16 or for any other purposes.
