This Form 4 details the final significant share movements by Silver Point Capital, L.P., Edward A. Mule, and Robert J. O'Shea, who were 10% owners of TreeHouse Foods. The reported transactions include a notable open market purchase of approximately $8.78 million just one day before the company's acquisition was completed. This was immediately followed by the mandatory disposition of all shares, valued at approximately $132.06 million, as part of the merger agreement, where shareholders received $22.50 in cash plus a contingent value right for each share. While the purchase indicates a final positioning by a major shareholder, the overall filing primarily serves as a record of the conversion of shares due to the company's privatization, which was announced on February 11, 2026. The market impact for public investors is minimal as the company is no longer publicly traded.
