Context
This was an award of earned performance units, not an open‑market purchase or sale—such awards reflect company compensation outcomes and are distinct from insider buying/selling as a market signal. Because the units remain subject to time-based vesting, they are not fully liquid yet. As a 10% owner with large Class B holdings and shared trustee authority, Stack’s filing largely documents compensation and trust arrangements rather than routine trading activity.
