Industry Context

Related Party Transactions

  • Margaret Hayne's indirect beneficial ownership includes shares held by a trust, a profit sharing fund, other trusts where immediate family members are beneficiaries, her spouse, and the Hayne Foundation. She disclaims beneficial ownership for some of these, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.
