PLAYSTUDIOS (MYPS) 10% Owner Pascal S. Exercises RSUs, Shares Withheld
What Happened
- Pascal Andrew S. (reported as a 10% owner; manager of DreamStreet Holdings, LLC and trustee of the Pascal Family Trust) had restricted/performance units convert/settle into Class A common stock on Feb 17, 2026. Two derivative settlements produced 375,000 and 208,334 shares (total 583,334 shares) issued at $0.00 per share. To cover tax withholding, 233,871 shares were surrendered at $0.49 per share (value reported $113,872) — the filing notes this was a withholding by the issuer, not an open‑market sale. On Feb 19, 2026, 349,463 shares were transferred in form (disposed and re-acquired) in connection with a change from direct ownership to a trust (beneficial ownership unchanged).

Context
- These were settlements of restricted/performance stock units (derivative conversions), not open-market purchases or opportunistic sales. The only "disposition" that reduced his share count was the issuer withholding shares to satisfy tax obligations (common in net-settlement of RSUs). The trust transfer changed the form of ownership but did not change beneficial ownership. As a 10% owner, Pascal’s filings reflect larger, structured compensation/ownership moves rather than routine small trades by non‑insiders.
