4 terms

restricted share units ("RSUs") financial

"Represents common shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of previously granted restricted share units ("RSUs")."

tax withholding obligations financial

"Represents common shares withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of previously granted restricted share units ("RSUs")."

Revocable Trust financial

"Held by the Jeffrey A. Hirsch Revocable Trust."

A revocable trust is a legal arrangement where the person who creates it keeps control and can change or cancel the trust at any time, while naming who will manage and receive the assets later. Think of it like a flexible folder for your investments and property that can be relabeled or reworked as circumstances change; it matters to investors because it determines how ownership is recorded, how easily assets transfer on incapacity or death, and whether holdings bypass public probate proceedings.

beneficial ownership financial

"Amount includes the following RSUs granted by the Issuer, payable upon vesting in an equal number of common shares of the Issuer..."

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

FAQ

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

What insider transaction did STRZ CEO Jeffrey Hirsch report?

Jeffrey Hirsch reported a tax-related share disposition, not an open-market trade. The issuer withheld 16,048 common shares at $28.86 per share to satisfy tax obligations from vesting restricted share units, a common mechanism for covering withholding taxes on equity compensation.

How many Starz Entertainment (STRZ) shares does Jeffrey Hirsch hold after this filing?

After the reported activity, Jeffrey Hirsch directly holds 391,307 common shares and indirectly holds 55,000 common shares via the Jeffrey A. Hirsch Revocable Trust. These holdings are separate from his unvested restricted share units, which may convert into additional shares as they vest in future years.

Was the STRZ CEO’s transaction a market sale or tax withholding?

The transaction was tax withholding, not a market sale. The issuer withheld 16,048 common shares to cover tax obligations when previously granted RSUs vested. No open-market purchase or sale decision by Jeffrey Hirsch is indicated; this is a mechanical compensation-related event.

What restricted share units (RSUs) does STRZ CEO Jeffrey Hirsch still have outstanding?

Hirsch’s position includes RSUs that convert into shares upon vesting: 49,928 RSUs vesting on July 3, 2026; 44,577 on July 1, 2027; 61,517 in three installments starting August 4, 2026; and 192,012 in three installments starting March 4, 2027, if vesting conditions are met.

How significant is the 16,048-share STRZ tax-withholding event?

The 16,048 shares were withheld to pay taxes on RSU vesting, a routine administrative step. Hirsch still directly holds 391,307 shares plus 55,000 indirectly, and maintains substantial unvested RSU grants, suggesting this filing reflects compensation mechanics rather than a change in investment stance.

How are Hirsch’s indirect STRZ holdings structured in this Form 4?

Indirect holdings are reported through the Jeffrey A. Hirsch Revocable Trust. The filing lists 55,000 common shares as indirectly owned by Hirsch via this trust structure, distinguishing them from his directly held 391,307 shares while still counting them as beneficial ownership for reporting purposes.
