These RSUs converted into an equal number of Class B common stock shares. The RSUs were part of a grant issued on March 2, 2026, which vests in equal quarterly installments over a three-year period.

To address the tax obligations incurred from this vesting event, Paramount Skydance Corp withheld 4,069 Class B shares. The withholding was based on a price of $10.97 per share, which was the closing price of the Class B common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on September 2, 2026. These shares were withheld by the issuer and were not sold in an open-market transaction.

Following these transactions, Ms. Charest directly holds 77,108 shares of Class B common stock, with an additional 424 shares held indirectly through a 401(k) plan. She also beneficially owns 79,690 Restricted Stock Units that have not yet vested. Executive compensation at Paramount Skydance, including for its CEO David Ellison, often includes a significant portion in stock awards, aligning executive interests with long-term shareholder value. For instance, David Ellison’s 2025 compensation package included $58.7 million in stock awards.
