  • Footnotes of note:
    • Trades were previously reported by Divisadero Street Capital Management, LP and Divisadero Street Partners, L.P. on May 18, 2026; this Form 4 is filed because the reporting persons subsequently received CIK codes.
    • The reported securities are owned directly by the Fund (a private investment fund managed by the Adviser) and may be indirectly beneficially owned by the Adviser and by Mr. Zolezzi in his capacity as manager. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of pecuniary interest.
  • Filing timeliness: the adviser filed the trades on May 18 (within the usual two business days); this Form 4 is a related filing prompted by CIK assignment, not a corrective late disclosure.

Context

  • These purchases were made by a fund managed by the adviser (institutional purchases), not an immediate personal transfer, and are reported as open‑market buys (code P). For retail investors, fund/institutional insider buys can signal increased interest but do not disclose the manager’s specific intent.
