Sala Marco 4

What Happened

• Marco Sala, Executive Chair and director of Brightstar Lottery PLC (BRSL), had restricted share units (RSUs) vest and convert into 22,311 ordinary shares on July 14, 2026. To cover tax liabilities, 10,159 of those shares were withheld (disposed) at $11.04 per share, totaling $112,155. The Form 4 records both the exercise/conversion of the derivative RSUs and the corresponding withholding for taxes.

Key Details

• Transaction date: July 14, 2026; Form filed July 16, 2026 (filed within the typical 2-business-day Form 4 window).
• RSUs converted: 22,311 shares (reported as derivative exercise/conversion, code M).
• Shares withheld for taxes: 10,159 shares at $11.04 each, proceeds/value = $112,155 (code F).
• Additional Form entry: a disposition of 22,311 derivative units is also recorded (reflecting the RSU conversion mechanics).
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU vests in three equal annual installments on July 14 of 2026, 2027 and 2028 and has no expiration. F2 — shares were withheld to pay tax liability. F3 — holdings are held indirectly through Olea Holding S.r.l.; Sala has a pecuniary interest as usufructuary of quota interests in related entities.

Context

• This was a vesting/conversion of RSUs rather than an open-market purchase or voluntary sale. The withholding of shares to cover taxes is a routine administrative step (cashless tax withholding) and not necessarily a market-sale signal. The filing records derivative exercise mechanics common when RSUs vest and convert into ordinary shares.
