The transactions reveal a pattern of periodic stock awards (coded "A") alongside discretionary sales (coded "S") and transfers (coded "F"), with the largest single purchase occurring on February 21, 2025, when he acquired $299,157.40 in SON shares.

Haynes’ activity suggests a reliance on equity compensation, with frequent smaller stock awards—such as the $3,618.56 grants on December 12, 2025—interspersed with occasional larger sales to monetize holdings. His February 2025 transactions were particularly active, combining a $130,331.80 transfer with the aforementioned large purchase and a $115,513.24 sale days later. While his overall dollar volume leans slightly toward selling, the activity appears structured, possibly tied to vesting schedules or personal financial planning. All transactions remain confined to SON, reflecting his executive role within the company’s metal packaging division. Recent filings indicate no open-market purchases since December 2025, with only sales and awards reported in 2026.
