Samaha Eli 4

What Happened
Eli Samaha, a director of Stagwell Inc. (STGW), was awarded 22,970 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-06-11. The Form 4 reports the grant as an "A" (award/grant) at a reported acquisition price of $0.00 (total $0 on the filing), reflecting that these are contingent RSUs rather than an open‑market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-11 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-06-12).
• Grant: 22,970 RSUs; reported price $0.00 (award/grant).
• Vesting: Per the filing, each RSU represents a contingent right to one share of Class A common stock and "will vest in full on the first anniversary of the date of grant." (Footnote F1)
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this filing.
• Footnote F2: Some shares are held by funds managed by Madison Avenue Partners, LP; Samaha is the managing partner and disclaims beneficial ownership of those fund‑held shares except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.
• Timeliness: Filed the day after the transaction (appears timely).

Context

• RSU grants to non‑employee directors are a common form of compensation and are not the same as an immediate cash purchase or sale; the units convert to shares only upon vesting.
• This award does not by itself indicate buying or selling sentiment; it reflects board compensation.
