Ryanair (RYAAY) CFO Tracey McCann Receives RSU Award, Sells Shares

What Happened
Tracey McCann, CFO of Ryanair DAC, had 26,867 restricted stock units (RSUs) convert into common shares on May 19, 2026. As part of a sell-to-cover tax withholding, she sold 8,197 of those shares in an open-market sale at $26.01 per share, generating $213,204 in proceeds. The remaining 18,670 shares were retained.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: May 19, 2026; Form 4 filed May 21, 2026 (within the usual 2-business-day reporting window).
  • Sale: 8,197 shares sold at $26.01 each, total proceeds $213,204.
  • Conversion/award: 26,867 RSUs converted to 26,867 common shares (one-for-one).
  • Shares retained from the award: 18,670. Retained-share price used in the filing: EUR 22.42 converted to USD at 1.16 = $26.01 (footnote).
  • Footnotes: F1—RSUs convert one-for-one; F2—sale was sell-to-cover to satisfy tax withholding; F4—RSUs granted March 9, 2023 had performance conditions that were satisfied on May 19, 2026.

Context
This was not a market-timed purchase signal—rather a routine settlement of RSUs with a partial sale to cover taxes (cashless/sell-to-cover). The filing shows exercise/conversion of a derivative (the RSU award) and a simultaneous partial disposition to satisfy tax obligations; retained shares reflect the net position from the vesting event.
