Neuberger Berman (NYSE: GETY) trims Getty Images stake below 5% threshold
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Neuberger Berman Group LLC and affiliates filed Amendment No. 6 reporting a reduced stake in Getty Images Holdings, Inc. They now beneficially own 17,090,251 shares of Class A common stock, representing about 4.1% of the shares outstanding as of November 5, 2025. The shares are held directly by NBOKS Master Fund, with the reporting entities sharing voting and dispositive power over this amount.
On December 23, 2025, NBOKS Master Fund completed a pro‑rata, in‑kind distribution of 38,123,044 Class A shares to its sole limited partners for no consideration, who then made similar distributions to certain of their own limited partners. Of these, 284,005 shares, or about 0.07% of the outstanding Class A stock, went to an account affiliated with a Neuberger Berman senior executive, but the reporting persons state they have no voting or dispositive power over those shares and disclaim beneficial ownership. As of December 23, 2025, they ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of Getty Images’ Class A common stock.

Insights
Neuberger Berman’s Getty Images stake falls below 5%, shifting its disclosure status.
The amendment shows Neuberger Berman and related entities now report beneficial ownership of 17,090,251 Getty Images Class A shares, or about 4.1% of the 415,860,181 shares outstanding as of November 5, 2025. This follows a pro‑rata, in‑kind distribution of 38,123,044 shares by NBOKS Master Fund to its limited partners for no consideration, with further pro‑rata distributions made by those partners.
A key consequence is that, as of December 23, 2025, the group no longer qualifies as a beneficial owner of more than five percent, which changes its reporting obligations and may reduce its perceived influence as a large holder. The filing also notes that 284,005 shares (about 0.07% of the class) were distributed to an account affiliated with a Neuberger Berman senior executive, while the reporting persons disclaim beneficial ownership and any voting or dispositive power over those shares. Future ownership levels and any governance role will be reflected in subsequent beneficial ownership reports, if required.
