Aptose (APTO) Former Director Mark D. Vincent Sells 522,347 Shares

What Happened

  • Mark D. Vincent, a former director of Aptose Biosciences (APTO), reported multiple dispositions in June 2026. He sold 14 shares on 2026-06-13 at US$1.72 ($24) and disposed of a combined ~522,333 additional shares on 2026-06-30 reported as derivative dispositions (multiple line items). Although many 6/30 entries show $0.00 (derivative reporting), the filing notes these were disposed pursuant to a board, shareholder and court-approved business arrangement under which a Hammi Pharmaceuticals subsidiary acquired all outstanding Aptose shares at C$2.41 per share (converted at C$1.40 = US$1.00), implying total consideration of roughly US$898,437 for the full block (all dates combined ≈ US$898,437).

Key Details

    • F2: Canadian-to-US conversion used C$1.40 = US$1.00.

  • Timeliness: Report filed 2026-07-01 for transactions through 2026-06-30 (appears timely).

Context

  • Many entries are listed as derivative dispositions — the filing indicates these were surrendered/converted as part of the acquisition rather than open-market sales. For retail investors, transactions tied to a take-private or acquisition process reflect the deal consideration rather than an independent insider sentiment signal. Options-related footnotes note vesting schedules and reverse-split adjustments; these are administrative details of the instruments involved, not separate market trades.
