• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided data.
• Footnotes of note:
  • F1: Fertitta is sole shareholder of Fertitta Entertainment, Inc., which owns Hospitality Headquarters, Inc. and indirectly Fertitta Entertainment, LLC — he may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of securities held by those entities.
  • F2: The derivative/options are held of record by Fertitta Entertainment, LLC.

Context

• The filing labels these as "derivative" disposals. That generally means the sale involved derivative securities (e.g., options or option-related shares) held of record by an entity rather than a direct sale of originally issued common stock. The filing does not state an exercise-plus-sale (cashless exercise), only that derivative securities were disposed.
• As a 10% owner, Fertitta’s transactions reflect the activity of a large shareholder through affiliated entities; such sales can be for many reasons (liquidity, portfolio rebalancing, entity-level actions) and do not necessarily indicate a change in company outlook.
