Key Details

  • Transaction date: April 16, 2026; Form filed April 20, 2026.
  • Transaction type: Derivative disposition (code J); price: N/A; total value: N/A.
  • Shares changed: 280,000 Class B shares disposed/transferred.
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
  • Notable footnotes: distribution by LB 2020 Family Trust to VLB Holdings LLC (F5); multiple filings note these securities are held through related entities controlled by Access Industries / Mr. Len Blavatnik (F2–F4, F6). Several entities disclaim beneficial ownership except for pecuniary interest.

Context

  • This appears to be an intra-group distribution/transfer rather than an open-market sale, so it may reflect estate or entity-level reorganization rather than a direct market-based sale by a single executive. As a 10% owner entity (institutional/related-party reporting), these moves document ownership shifts across affiliated entities rather than an individual trading on private information.
