Insights
Form 4 shows completion of a cash merger and cleanup of insider equity.
The filing reflects Anthony J. Tommasino, principal accounting officer of Alexander & Baldwin, disposing of all his common shares back to the issuer. The transactions are coded "D" for issuer disposition, with no per-share price in the table.
Footnotes explain that these actions occurred at the effective time of a cash merger with Tropic Merger Sub LLC. Each outstanding common share was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $20.85 in cash, subject to withholding taxes. This indicates his equity position was cashed out as part of the change in control.
The Form 4 thus documents administrative consequences of the merger for one officer’s holdings rather than a discretionary market trade. The main economic terms—cancellation of shares and the $20.85 cash consideration—were set in the December 8, 2025 merger agreement and implemented at the merger’s effective time on March 12, 2026.
