Hoel Chris 4

What Happened

• Chris Hoel, Chief Accounting Officer of Getty Images Holdings, Inc. (GETY), received an award of 77,500 restricted stock units (RSUs) on March 31, 2026. The RSUs were granted at a $0.00 acquisition price (i.e., no cash exchanged) under the company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Class A common stock when it vests.

Context

• RSU grants are common compensation and retention tools for executives. These awards do not represent immediately tradable shares — economic interest is realized only as units vest and are settled into shares (if at all). This grant is an award rather than a purchase or sale and does not itself indicate insider buying or selling activity.
