WWE has disclosed the forfeiture in a new SEC filing. Vince’s retirement from the company, which was announced last week, is connected to the disposal. Vince gave his approval to the deal today, July 26, but the transaction took place on July 22.

The market value of the 38,519 shares was just under $2.7 million. The 38,519 shares are around 0.1% of Vince’s ownership stake in WWE.
