Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-02-13 (filing date: 2026-02-13) — filing appears timely.
- Instruments received: 17,499 shares (from conversion of Olympic Steel common stock and restricted stock awards) and 13,092 RSUs (converted from Olympic Steel RSUs). Total = 30,591.
- Exchange ratio: Olympic Steel shares converted at 1.7105 Ryerson shares per Olympic Steel share (per the merger agreement).
- Vesting/delivery: The filing notes the RSUs were converted and the restricted stock units have fully vested; vested shares will be delivered upon separation of service (see filing footnotes).

Context
- These are merger-related equity conversions (awards/acquisitions), not open-market purchases or sales; they reflect exchange of pre-existing Olympic Steel equity for Ryerson equity under the merger terms.
- RSUs are contingent rights to receive shares and, per the filing, are treated under the original award terms after conversion; vested RSUs may still be delivered only upon the holder’s separation of service.
- Because no sale or open-market purchase occurred, this transaction is not a direct signal of buying or selling intent in the secondary market—it's a contractual conversion tied to the corporate transaction.
