NEW ROYAL HOLDCO (GDEN) Director Andy Chien Sells Shares

What Happened

  • Director Andy Chien had restricted stock units (RSUs) accelerate and vest and those RSUs converted to common stock, which were then settled/cashed out and/or exchanged in the company’s merger. On 2026-04-29 Chien converted/exercised 5,643 RSUs (no exercise cost) and those shares were disposed to the issuer at $28.55 per share for proceeds of $161,108. On 2026-04-30 an additional 19,112 shares of the successor entity’s common stock were disposed to the issuer as part of the reorganization (value reported as N/A in the Form 4).

Key Details

  • Transaction dates: primary actions on 2026-04-29 (exercise/settlement and cash disposition) and 2026-04-30 (disposition in reorg). Form filed 2026-04-30 (covers report period 2026-04-29).
  • Sale/settlement price recorded: 5,643 shares at $28.55 → $161,108. The 19,112-share disposition in the reorganization is reported with no dollar amount on the Form 4.
  • Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
  • Notable footnotes:
    • F1/F4: RSUs accelerated, vested in full on the Equity Award Settlement Date and each RSU converted into one share, then settled for cash per the award and Master Transaction Agreement.
    • F2: Shares disposed in the reorganization were exchanged for 0.902 shares of VICI Properties Inc. per New Royal Holdco share (cash paid for fractional shares). 19,112 New Royal shares would convert to ~17,250 VICI shares (before any fractional cash treatment).
    • F3: RSUs convert one-for-one upon vesting and had no expiration.
  • Filing timeliness: Form 4 filed the next day (2026-04-30) for transactions on 2026-04-29/04-30.

Context

  • This was not an open-market sale to a third party; the RSUs were settled/cashed under the award agreement and shares were transferred back to the issuer or converted in the merger. The 5,643-share action was effectively a cash settlement of vested RSUs (no outlay by the insider). The 19,112-share entry reflects the corporate reorganization exchange into VICI Properties stock (per the merger terms), not a conventional market sale.
  • These entries are routine in the context of accelerated RSU vesting and a merger; they are factual settlements/exchanges rather than independent trading decisions.
