Insights

Equity compensation and M&A specialist

Officer’s Olympic Steel equity is converted or cashed out as merger closes.

The transactions show Andrew S. Greiff, President and Chief Operating Officer of Olympic Steel, disposing of common shares and RSUs on February 13, 2026. This aligns with the merger terms under which Olympic Steel shares convert into Ryerson Holding Corporation stock.

Each Olympic Steel common share is exchanged for 1.7105 Ryerson shares, plus cash for fractional shares. RSU awards are similarly adjusted: most become Ryerson-based RSUs with existing vesting schedules, while one fully vested RSU grant is converted and then exchanged for cash using Ryerson’s closing price on February 13, 2026.

These are non‑open‑market, issuer-related dispositions labeled as "disposition to issuer" rather than discretionary sales. They primarily reflect implementation of the merger consideration mechanics rather than a directional bet by the officer. Actual economic impact depends on the Ryerson share value and future vesting of the converted RSUs.

FAQ

What insider transaction did Olympic Steel (ZEUS) report for Andrew S. Greiff?

Olympic Steel reported that President and COO Andrew S. Greiff disposed of common shares and several restricted share unit awards on February 13, 2026. These transactions were issuer-related dispositions tied to the closing of the merger with Ryerson Holding Corporation, not open-market sales or purchases.

How many Olympic Steel (ZEUS) common shares did Andrew S. Greiff dispose of?

Andrew S. Greiff disposed of 19,863 shares of Olympic Steel common stock on February 13, 2026. Each of these shares was converted into the right to receive 1.7105 shares of Ryerson Holding Corporation common stock, plus a small cash payment for any resulting fractional shares.

How were Olympic Steel (ZEUS) restricted share units treated in the Ryerson merger?

Each restricted share unit represented one Olympic Steel share and was adjusted under the merger. Most RSUs were converted into RSUs tied to Ryerson Holding Corporation stock using a 1.7105 exchange ratio, preserving vesting terms, while one fully vested RSU grant was converted and then cashed out based on Ryerson’s closing share price.

Was Andrew S. Greiff’s Form 4 for Olympic Steel (ZEUS) an open-market sale?

No. The Form 4 classifies all transactions under code D as dispositions to the issuer. The movements reflect mandatory treatment of common shares and RSUs under the merger agreement with Ryerson Holding Corporation, rather than elective open-market selling or buying by the officer.

What exchange ratio applied to Olympic Steel (ZEUS) shares in the Ryerson merger?

Each share of Olympic Steel common stock outstanding immediately before the merger’s effective time was converted into 1.7105 shares of Ryerson Holding Corporation common stock. Any fractional shares created by this 1.7105 ratio were settled with a separate cash payment rounded to the nearest cent.

How was one fully vested Olympic Steel (ZEUS) RSU grant settled after the merger?

One fully vested RSU award first became RSUs referencing Ryerson Holding Corporation shares using the 1.7105 factor. Those RSUs were then cancelled for cash equal to the underlying Ryerson shares multiplied by Ryerson’s February 13, 2026 closing price, minus applicable taxes, paid within 30 days.
