Insights
Form 4 shows merger-related rollover and cash-out, not open-market trading.
The transactions reflect a completed merger where Kennedy-Wilson became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kona Bidco, LLC. Windisch contributed 565,748 shares to Parent for equity interests and disposed of 1,172,816 shares to the issuer, ending with no remaining common stock.
At the merger’s effective time, each outstanding share converted into the right to receive $10.90 in cash, and all RSUs were canceled in exchange for dividend-equivalent amounts. These steps are typical for a take-private transaction and look administrative rather than discretionary buying or selling in the open market.
