Soho House (NYSE: SHCO) founder tied to 4.4M-share sale, $1.50 add-on
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Soho House & Co Inc. founder Nick Jones filed a Form 4 reporting a derivative transaction tied to 4,400,000 shares of Class B common stock on January 29, 2026. These Class B shares are convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.
The filing references a prior agreement for Jones to sell 4,400,000 Class B shares to Ronald Burkle for $6.00 per share, totaling $26,400,000, in a private transaction. Because the company entered into a merger at $9.00 per share, Burkle also agreed to pay or transfer to Jones an additional $1.50 per share, or $6,600,000 in total, by December 31, 2026.

This group holds all Class B shares and, when voting together, controls over 90% of the combined voting power of Soho House, allowing it to determine outcomes of matters requiring shareholder approval.
