American Depositary Shares financial
"The Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which represents one Ordinary Share."
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

definitive proxy statement regulatory
"please see the Issuer's most recent definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission."
A Definitive Proxy Statement is a detailed document that a company sends to its shareholders before a big meeting, like voting on important decisions. It explains what's being voted on and gives important information so shareholders can make informed choices. It matters because it helps shareholders understand and participate in key company decisions.
open-market sale financial
"transaction_action: open-market sale"
An open-market sale is when a shareholder sells existing shares directly on a public exchange to any willing buyer, rather than through a private deal. Think of it like putting goods on a busy market stall where price is set by supply and demand; for investors it matters because such sales increase available supply, can put short-term downward pressure on the stock price, and signal changes in liquidity or investor confidence.

FAQ

Why were Damon Ryan’s Criteo (CRTO) shares sold according to the Form 4 footnotes?

The shares were sold automatically to fund tax withholding obligations tied to settlement of a prior equity award. This means the transactions were driven by tax requirements associated with compensation, not an elective decision to reduce his investment in Criteo stock.

How many Criteo (CRTO) shares did Damon Ryan sell and at what price?

He sold a total of 2,132 Criteo Ordinary Shares on May 26, 2026, at $17.06 per share. These sales are reported as open-market transactions but are described as automatic sales to satisfy tax withholding obligations from an earlier equity award.

How many Criteo (CRTO) shares does Damon Ryan still hold after these transactions?

Following the reported sales, Damon Ryan continues to hold more than 175,000 Criteo Ordinary Shares directly. This indicates the tax-related sale represents only a small fraction of his overall position as disclosed in this Form 4 filing.

Are Criteo (CRTO) Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares (ADS)?

Yes. The footnotes state that Criteo’s Ordinary Shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, with each ADS corresponding to one Ordinary Share. This structure allows the company’s shares to be traded more easily on U.S. markets through ADS instruments.

Where can investors find more details on Damon Ryan’s Criteo (CRTO) equity holdings?
