Smurfit Westrock ( (SW) ) has issued an announcement.
Smurfit Westrock plc has reported a series of equity-based incentive transactions involving key executives under its 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan, highlighting the company’s continued use of performance and restricted share units to align management with shareholder interests. President and Group CEO Anthony Smurfit, EVP and Group CFO Ken Bowles, North America CEO Laurent Sellier and EMEA/APAC CEO Saverio Mayer all received 2026 performance share unit and restricted share unit conditional awards, while the first tranches of their 2025 RSU awards vested on 12 March 2026 and were settled in ordinary shares outside a trading venue.
The awards were granted at nil cost, with shares from the vesting RSU tranches delivered on a net settlement basis after satisfying withholding tax obligations at an effective settlement price of $42.20 per share. The transactions marginally increase each executive’s equity exposure and underscore Smurfit Westrock’s reliance on long-term stock-based compensation to retain senior leadership and reinforce performance-driven incentives during a key phase of the group’s post-combination integration and global growth strategy.
