What Happened

• Mathias Hansen, General Counsel of trivago N.V. (TRVG), had restricted stock units (RSUs) vest and converted into 11,489 American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on August 15, 2026 (reported on a Form 4 filed Aug 18, 2026). The filing shows shares issued at $0.00 and 3,637 ADSs were disposed (withheld) to satisfy tax-withholding obligations. Several additional derivative conversion/disposal entries (2,041; 1,502; and 7,946 ADSs) were also reported at $0.00 in connection with the vesting/conversion activity and the RSU program noted in the footnotes.

Key Details

• Transaction date: August 15, 2026; Form 4 filed August 18, 2026.
• Reported prices: $0.00 per share for the acquisitions/conversions and disposals (reflecting RSU vesting/conversion and tax withholding, not open-market trades).
• Tax withholding: 3,637 ADSs reported as withheld to pay taxes (footnote F2 indicates ADSs withheld for taxes on RSU vesting).
• ADS conversion: 1 ADS = 5 Class A shares (footnote F1).
• Related grants: Footnotes reference RSU awards granted March 2, 2026 (24,502 units), Feb 27, 2025 (18,024 units), and April 4, 2024 (95,357 units) with standard quarterly vesting schedules (F3, F5, F6). Footnote F4 notes RSUs have no expiration date.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the information provided on the Form 4.
• Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = payment of exercise price or tax liability (withholding).

Context

• These entries reflect RSU vesting/conversion and routine tax-withholding (a cashless settlement), not an open-market buy or a discretionary sale. Such withholdings are common and do not, by themselves, indicate a change in the insider’s market view.
• No late-filing indication is shown here; the Form 4 was filed three days after the August 15 transactions.
