Shareholders of Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.
As a widely held public company listed on the NYSE, Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. does not maintain a small, fully disclosed shareholder register. U.S. securities law requires public disclosure only from investors who beneficially own more than 5% of a company’s outstanding common stock, via Schedule 13G or 13G/A filings with the SEC. On that basis, BlackRock, Inc. is the largest disclosed institutional holder, reporting beneficial ownership of 10,994,528 shares, approximately 17.4% of the class, as of 30 June 2026 per its Schedule 13G/A filed 29 July 2026; the filing states the position is held in an investment-adviser capacity across funds it manages, including iShares index funds, rather than as a single beneficial owner seeking control. The Vanguard Group, Inc. and State Street Corporation have also filed Schedule 13G/13G-A disclosures in 2025-2026 reporting beneficial ownership at or above the 5% threshold, consistent with their roles as large passive index-fund managers; the precise percentages reported have varied across amendments (for example, one Vanguard Schedule 13G/A reported approximately 14.85% of the class). Holdings reported on Schedule 13G are, by definition, passive investment positions and do not carry board representation. No complete listing of shareholders below the 5% disclosure threshold is publicly available. Disclosure for Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. is classified as Major shareholders only.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner is identified for Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. As a widely held, NYSE-listed REIT whose largest disclosed holders are passive index-fund managers (BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street) holding shares on behalf of underlying fund investors rather than for their own account, there is no individual or entity that meets a conventional UBO threshold of concentrated beneficial ownership or control. No SEC filing or other authoritative source identifies a natural-person UBO for this company.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. is Major shareholders only: U.S. securities regulation requires public disclosure only for beneficial owners exceeding 5% of outstanding shares (Schedule 13G/13D) or for company insiders (Forms 3/4/5 and the annual DEF 14A proxy statement). The remainder of the company’s shareholder base, held through brokers, funds and individual investors, is not individually disclosed.
