Host Digital (HOST) CEO Samra Harmol Receives 10,119,047 Shares

What Happened

• Samra Harmol, CEO of Host Digital Inc., was reported on Form 4 as acquiring 10,119,047 shares of the issuer's Class A common stock on September 17, 2026. The transaction is recorded as an Award/Grant/Other Acquisition (code A); no per-share purchase price is listed on the Form 4. Using the issuer's closing price of $11.33 on Sept. 17, the shares are roughly valued at $114.6 million.
• The shares resulted from the merger between the issuer (formerly Healthy Choice Wellness Corp.) and Host Digital Infrastructure LLC (Host DI), under which Host DI units were converted into Class A shares or pre-funded warrants. The filing notes the Reporting Person elected to receive shares in exchange for his Host DI common units.

Context

• This was a conversion/acquisition tied to a corporate merger, not an open-market purchase or sale; such merger-related share issuances reflect deal consideration rather than a direct insider market trade.
• The filing does not indicate an option exercise, sale, gift, or 10b5-1 plan. The shares are held via an LLC controlled by the reporting person, which is common for managing economic ownership and does not necessarily signal a buying or selling sentiment by the insider.
