Arison George 4

What Happened

Key Details

• Transaction date: June 19, 2026; Grant type: RSU award (Form 4 code A). Report filed June 23, 2026 (timely within SEC two-business-day window).

• Vesting: Six equal installments every six months, first vesting on April 19, 2028; final vesting on October 19, 2030; subject to Arison’s continuous service through each vest date.

• Form 4 did not specify the insider’s total beneficial ownership following this grant; no sale, exercise, or tax-withholding event was reported with this grant.

Context
RSUs are a form of equity compensation that convert into shares only if and when they vest; they do not indicate an immediate market buy or sell. Grants held in GRATs often reflect estate or tax planning structures — they show record holders are trusts, not direct brokerage purchases. This filing documents a compensation award rather than a market trade, so it should be interpreted as part of the CEO’s long‑term equity compensation rather than an immediate bullish or bearish trading signal.
