On October&nbsp;15, 2024, International Paper Company (the "Company") announced a corporate overhead restructuring plan aimed at reducing operating costs, optimizing its organizational structure, and better aligning its workforce with the needs of the business and its customers. The majority of the corporate overhead restructuring plan is expected to be substantially implemented in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Under the corporate overhead restructuring plan, the Company plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 650 employees. Impacted employees are eligible to receive certain severance payments and other employee termination benefits under the Company's Salaried Employee Severance Plan including outplacement services. Payment of severance and employee termination benefits are contingent upon the employee's execution (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement, which includes a general release of claims against the Company.
In connection with the restructuring, the Company estimates it will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $80&nbsp;million to $100&nbsp;million related to one-time severance payments and other employee termination benefits, with approximately $50&nbsp;million of such charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 and approximately $30&nbsp;million to $50&nbsp;million of such charges anticipated to be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. Substantially all of the charges noted above will involve cash payments, and it is contemplated that the majority of these cash payments will be paid during the first quarter of 2025.
The estimated charges disclosed above in connection with this corporate overhead restructuring are subject to assumptions and actual results may differ materially.

<h3>Understanding the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>A Closer Look at Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
