Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Koch Icon Investments, LLC and related Koch entities report a major ownership position in Getty Images Holdings, Inc. They may be deemed to beneficially own 115,259,246 Class A "Public Shares," representing about 27.7% of the public shares outstanding, based on 415,860,181 shares as of November 5, 2025. The reporting entities have sole voting and sole dispositive power over these shares.

The amendment reflects internal changes, including that Koch Financial Assets III, LLC now holds no Public Shares and, as of December 12, 2025, has fallen below the 5% threshold, making this its exit filing. On December 12, 2025, Neuberger Berman Opportunistic Capital Solutions Master Fund LP distributed 34,525,639 Public Shares in kind to Koch Icon at Koch Financial Assets III’s direction, funded with Koch, Inc. working capital. The filing also updates the list of Koch reporting entities, notes potential “group” status with a Getty family stockholder under an existing stockholders agreement (which the Koch entities formally disclaim), and confirms no criminal convictions or specified securities law judgments for the reporting persons over the past five years.

Insights

Koch entities reaffirm a 27.7% Getty Images stake and formalize an affiliate’s exit.

The disclosure shows Koch Icon Investments, LLC, together with several Koch-affiliated holding companies and Koch, Inc., may be deemed to beneficially own 115,259,246 Getty Images Class A Public Shares. This equals about 27.7% of the 415,860,181 Public Shares outstanding as of November 5, 2025, giving this group significant influence, with sole voting and sole dispositive power over the reported shares.

A key change is structural: Koch Financial Assets III, LLC now reports ownership of 0 Public Shares and, as of December 12, 2025, has ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than 5%, making this an exit filing for that entity. The amendment explains that Neuberger Berman Opportunistic Capital Solutions Master Fund LP distributed 34,525,639 Public Shares in kind to Koch Icon at Koch Financial Assets III’s direction, funded by Koch, Inc. working capital, effectively concentrating the stake within Koch Icon.

The filing also details the ownership chain from Koch, Inc. down to Koch Icon and notes that, due to obligations under an existing stockholders agreement, the Koch entities may be deemed part of a “group” with a Getty family stockholder, while explicitly disclaiming group status. Over the last five years, none of the reporting persons, nor their listed officers and directors, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or subject to specified securities law judgments, which supports a neutral governance risk view based solely on this information.
