Context
This was a non‑cash distribution/transfer through the company’s external manager rather than a market sale, so it does not reflect a cash‑raising sale by the insider. Footnotes indicate the transfer relates to distributions by the manager and that Mr. Sternlicht’s ownership of related entities’ holdings is disclaimed for Section 16 purposes.
