Ryanair (RYAAY) CCO Jason McGuinness Receives RSUs, Sells Shares
What Happened
Jason McGuinness, Chief Commercial Officer (Ryanair DAC), had a 2023 conditional Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award vest on May 19, 2026. The award converted one-for-one into 26,867 ordinary shares. To satisfy tax withholding on the vesting, he sold 12,562 shares in an open-market sell-to-cover transaction at $26.01 per share, generating $326,738. He retained the remaining 14,305 shares from the vested award (retained-share price reported as EUR 22.42, converted to USD = $25.99 per share; retained position ≈ $372k).

Context
- This was a vesting/settlement of RSUs with a routine sell-to-cover for tax obligations, not an independent market sale of previously held shares. The report includes both the conversion of the derivative award and the subsequent portion sold to cover taxes. Such sell-to-cover transactions are common after vesting and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view on company prospects.
