JNP Parachute Mirror Trust L recorded a sale of 42,689 shares of Class A Common Stock in Hyatt Hotels Corp (NYSE:H) on April 17, 2026, amounting to $7,161,079. The shares were sold at $167.75 each. This sale came immediately after an automatic conversion of 42,689 Class B Common Stock shares into Class A Common Stock, a conversion that, under Hyatt's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, occurs upon transfer - including sales.
Following the disposition of the converted Class A shares, JNP Parachute Mirror Trust L no longer holds any direct Class A Common Stock. The trust, however, continues to retain a direct position in Class B Common Stock: after the conversion event it directly owns 170,754 shares of Class B Common Stock.
Hyatt's share price has continued to climb since the trust's transaction. The stock reached $170.74 at the most recent quote, representing a 66% gain over the prior 12 months and placing the shares close to their 52-week high of $180.53.
The company is currently valued at approximately $16.09 billion and reports earnings on April 30, with investors and market participants watching closely given the stock's elevated valuation multiples.
