Class A common stock financial

"exercisable on a 1-for-1 basis for shares of Class A common stock"

Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What insider transaction did RYAN report for Mark Stephen Katz?

RYAN reported that EVP & General Counsel Mark Stephen Katz received a grant of 33,715 Executive Chairman stock options. The award is a compensation-related acquisition, not an open-market purchase or sale, and is disclosed as a routine Form 4 insider transaction.

What is the exercise price of the new RYAN stock options granted to Katz?

The new Executive Chairman stock options granted to Katz carry an exercise price of $29.66 per share. Each option can be exercised on a 1-for-1 basis for Class A common stock, meaning one option converts into one share at that strike price.

How many RYAN options does Mark Stephen Katz hold after this Form 4 grant?

After this grant, Mark Stephen Katz holds a total of 33,715 Executive Chairman stock options. All of these options relate to Class A common stock and were acquired in a single compensation award reported in the Form 4 filing for Ryan Specialty Holdings.

When do the newly granted RYAN options to Katz vest?

The options vest in three equal installments on July 1, 2029, July 1, 2030, and July 1, 2031. This time-based vesting schedule means Katz earns one-third of the award on each of those dates, subject to the terms of the grant.

What is the expiration date of the RYAN Executive Chairman stock options?

The Executive Chairman stock options granted to Katz expire on May 5, 2036. After that expiration date, any unexercised options become invalid, so the 10-year term defines the maximum window during which they can be exercised into Class A common stock.

Were the RYAN stock option grants approved by a board committee?

Yes. The grant was approved by the compensation and governance committee of Ryan Specialty’s board of directors. The footnote explains this approval was for purposes of Rule 16(b)(3), which helps qualify the transaction for certain exemptions under U.S. securities regulations.
