What Happened

Key Details

  • Transaction date: January 23, 2026; per-share price: $16.75.
  • Shares disposed: 4,914 ($82,310) and 14,446 ($241,971); total 19,360 shares for $324,281.

  • Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
  • Notable footnotes: (1) The dispositions resulted from the closing of a merger (Agreement and Plan of Merger dated Aug 20, 2025) under which GUESS became a wholly owned subsidiary and its common stock will be delisted and deregistered; (2) shares were cancelled and converted into cash consideration of $16.75/share; (3) certain unvested restricted stock awards vested at the effective time and were converted into the same cash payment (less any required tax withholdings).

Context

  • This transaction is a merger cash‑out (company-level corporate action) rather than an open-market sale by the director; proceeds reflect the merger consideration. Such merger-driven dispositions are routine outcomes of corporate transactions and do not by themselves indicate the insider’s market view.
