Liberty Latin America (LILA) Brian Zook Receives Preferred Shares

What Happened Brian D. Zook (MD, Chief Accounting Officer) received Series A Preferred Shares as part of a special dividend declared May 21, 2026 and payable June 16, 2026. He directly received 4,918 Preferred Shares and an additional 140 Preferred Shares credited to his IRA (total 5,058 preferred shares). In addition, a derivative award (adjusted share appreciation rights/SARs) was reported on June 17, 2026 covering 2,164 shares (reported with $0 cash consideration). The dividend converted entitlement into newly issued 9.0% Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Redeemable Series A Preferred Shares (ticker LILAP), initial liquidation price $25 per preferred share. These were recorded as "other acquisition or disposition (J)" — i.e., receipt via dividend, not an open-market purchase.

Context This transaction is receipt of a corporate special dividend (preferred shares) and adjustments to equity awards — routine corporate actions and compensation-plan anti-dilution adjustments rather than an insider buying or selling common stock. Such dividend-issued securities and SAR adjustments are typically administrative and do not necessarily signal insider trading intent. For precise post-transaction holdings, valuation, or questions about timeliness, consult the full Form 4 (Accession 0001725076-26-000003).
