Whirlpool also points investors to the Investors section of its website and the Hot Topics Q&A for additional disclosures.
Whirlpool Corporation director reports no beneficial ownership
Whirlpool Corporation director Mary Ellen Adcock filed an initial ownership report on Form 3 as a single reporting person. The filing states that no non-derivative or derivative securities of Whirlpool are beneficially owned, and the remarks section confirms that no securities are beneficially owned. The form is signed by an attorney-in-fact on behalf of the reporting person.
Whirlpool Corporation disclosed the appointment of Ms. Adcock to its board and specified her non-employee director compensation. She will receive an annual cash retainer of $150,000 and annual equity compensation of $160,000 paid in Whirlpool common stock on the date of the company’s annual meeting of stockholders. The company stated that Ms. Adcock’s compensation will be consistent with that of other non-employee directors. A press release announcing the appointment is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.
Whirlpool Corporation disclosed that its Board of Directors approved a new quarterly dividend of $0.90 per share on its common stock. The dividend is payable on September 15, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025.
This new dividend level is lower than the prior quarterly dividend of $1.75 per share, meaning shareholders will receive less cash each quarter going forward unless the rate is changed again. The company also highlighted that it routinely shares important investor information in the Investors section of its website, including a Hot Topics Q&A page intended for material disclosures under Regulation FD.
