Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Graham Holdings Company executive vice president Jacob Maas reported equity compensation activity in the company’s Class B Common Stock. On January 16, 2026, he acquired 1,000 shares at $0 per share upon vesting of a restricted stock unit award tied to stock price performance, then had 377 shares withheld at a price of $1,150.5 per share to cover associated taxes. After these transactions, Maas directly owned 6,657 Class B shares.

The filing explains that this award was granted on January 19, 2022 with price-based vesting. Each 1,000-share tranche vests when the Class B stock closes at or above specified price levels for 90 consecutive days on or before December 31, 2027. Earlier tranches vested when price goals up to the fourth threshold were met, and a fifth 1,000-share tranche may vest if the closing price exceeds $1,100 for 90 consecutive days, with potential additional 1,000-share increments for each further $100 price increase maintained for 90 days in that period.
