Ryan Cohen, GameStop's president, chief executive and chairman, bought 700,000 shares of its Class A common stock on the open market on Oct 2, 2026, for $17.08 million. The average price was $24.41 a share; a footnote on the form says the shares were bought in several transactions at prices from $24.36 to $24.44. Cohen filed a Form 4, the report company insiders must file with the SEC after trading their company's stock, on the same day. The shares are held directly, and the form states that he owned 41,648,522 shares of Class A common stock after the purchase. The Rule 10b5-1 box on the form, which would mark a trade made under a pre-arranged trading plan, is not ticked; the box answers for the whole form.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8^,9^,10^,11^,12

Our records hold no Form 4/A of this filing, so its lines are as first filed, and holdings that a form reports without a transaction are not read here.29^,30
