BURTON JOSEPH B

Joseph B. Burton (CIK 0001535505, 771 transactions since May 2012) runs a two-phase register with a 6-year dormancy gap: at PLANTRONICS INC (PLT, 2012–2020, 750 transactions, 258,320 sell shares), the final session on May 15, 2020 contained three D-codes (dividend reinvestment: 14,816 + 2,481 + 4,962 at $0) and one F-code tax-surrender of 25,712 shares at $11.40 — the PLT register has been inactive since then, consistent with Plantronics being acquired or going private (Poly/Plantronics merger closed in 2019; name change to Poly followed; Burton's SEC obligations ceased). The ACCO Brands Corp (ACCO) register begins August 12, 2022 and runs through June 17, 2026 with 21 transactions — ALL A-codes (award grants from the issuer, no disclosed price) with zero market sells and zero secondary issuers. The A-award cadence is roughly quarterly: 13,670 (Aug 2022), 185–208 + 23,855 (early 2023), 542–554 + 24K (mid 2023), 818–923 + 2,139 (late 2023), 1,154 + 32,895 (early 2024), 2,951 long-Mar-2024, 24,951 long-May-2024, 606 (Jun 2024), 923 + 532 (Sep 2024), 1,961 (Dec 2024), 2,222 (May 2025), 1,154 (Mar 2025), 32,809 (May 2025), 2,735 (Mar 2026), 32,809 (May 2026), 2,745 (Jun 2026). The two 'large' awards (32,809, 32,895) appear in May 2025 and May 2026 — almost exactly one year apart — suggesting a performance-year-bonus grant schedule tied to ACCO's fiscal year (ACCO's fiscal year ends around March/April). The 2023 awards have $0 price (reported at grant), while 2025–2026 show null prices (standard for unvested awards). Honest read: a long-tenured senior executive who exited Plantronics at acquisition and resurfaced at ACCO Brands receiving routine quarterly/annual performance awards without a single market sale — the ACCO file is pure accumulation with zero distribution; the honest behavior is long-term equity-holder who has been adding through employer awards and reinvested dividends across two employers with no diversification intent.
