The Pritzker Traubert Foundation, associated with a 10% owner group of Hyatt Hotels Corp (NYSE:H), has sold all of its shares in the company, totaling 704,229 shares of Class A common stock, for an average price of $157.9662 per share, according to a recent SEC filing. The transaction, which took place on March 22, resulted in a total sale value of approximately $111,244,379.
The sale followed a conversion of an equal number of Class B common stock shares to Class A shares, a process which is automatic upon sale according to the company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. This conversion is exempt from liability under Rule 16b-6(b), and it indicates that the shares of Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock in connection with the sale.
The Pritzker Traubert Foundation has indicated through the filing that it may be deemed a member of a group due to certain voting agreements and limitations on transfers of Class A and Class B common stock. However, the foundation has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
This significant sale comes amid various market movements, and as investors digest the news, the broader implications for Hyatt’s stock and investor sentiment remain to be seen. The SEC filing was signed by Ronald D. Wray, Vice President, on March 25.
