- Notable footnotes:
- F1: Units earned under a 2025 performance award; time-based vesting remains.
- F2–F6: Detail sizeable Class B holdings and transfers involving Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs); some shares are held indirectly and are not registered under the Exchange Act.
- Nature of transaction: Award/grant (A) — not a market purchase or sale, so it does not represent an immediate cash investment or divestiture.
Context
- These are performance-based restricted units (awarded, not sold). Because they remain subject to time-based vesting, they are not immediately tradable and do not necessarily signal immediate buying pressure.
- As a 10% owner, Mr. Stack’s filings reflect large, controlled holdings and estate/transfer activity (GRATs), which can affect how holdings are reported (direct vs. indirect ownership) rather than indicating routine executive trading.
