Context
These entries appear to reflect a corporate contribution/recapitalization involving subsidiaries and the issuer’s operating partnership (exchangeable LP units and restricted stock units), not open-market buying or selling. Several reported awards are restricted stock units or exchangeable partnership units subject to vesting and conversion terms (see footnotes). As a 10% owner and CEO, Ressler may be deemed to beneficially own some of the contributed securities through related entities but explicitly disclaims direct beneficial ownership aside from any indirect economic interest.
