Insights

Corporate governance and ownership analyst

Large internal share transfer shifts director designation rights within Koch entities.

The disclosure shows Koch Icon Investments, LLC transferring 115,259,246 Class A shares of Getty Images Holdings, Inc. to KED Icon Holdings, LLC on December 31, 2025. The transaction is coded as "J" (other) and explicitly described as part of an internal reorganization, with no consideration paid by KED Icon, indicating a restructuring within entities indirectly owned by Koch, Inc. rather than an external sale.

The filing also clarifies governance implications: Michael Harris and Brett Watson sit on Getty Images’ board as designees of Koch Icon, but after this transfer, KED Icon holds the right to designate those directors. This means the formal "director by deputization" status shifts away from Koch Icon, even though ultimate indirect ownership remains with Koch, Inc. Future company disclosures may provide more detail on any additional governance or ownership changes among related Koch entities.
