The filing dated October 2, 2026, reveals that Willis acquired 405 shares of Ingevity common stock at a price of $71.09 per share on October 1, 2026. Following this transaction, he now holds a total of 11,883 shares. The filing notes, "Represents vested deferred stock units (DSUs) granted pursuant to the reporting person's election to receive DSUs in lieu of quarterly director fees.
