Semrush (SEMR) CMO Andrew Warden Cashes Out Shares

What Happened

Andrew Warden, Chief Marketing Officer of Semrush Holdings, disposed of company equity on April 28, 2026 in connection with Semrush’s merger into Adobe. The filing shows a cash payment of $12.00 per share for 338,902.89 common shares, totaling $4,066,835. Several additional equity items recorded as dispositions (derivative entries) relate to restricted stock units (RSUs) and/or options that were either cashed out or converted under the merger terms; those derivative entries show no per-share price or cash value in the Form 4.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: April 28, 2026 (Disposition to issuer, code D).
  • Cash proceeds reported: 338,902.89 common shares × $12.00 = $4,066,835.
  • Other reported dispositions: 113,732; 63,694; and 42,803 units shown as derivative dispositions (no dollar amounts reported on Form 4).
  • Why this happened: Per the Merger Agreement, each Semrush share converted into the right to receive $12.00 in cash; RSUs and options were either cashed out or converted into Adobe RSU awards depending on award type (see footnotes F1–F5).
  • Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided summary of the filing.
  • Filing timeliness: Reported on April 28, 2026 (the same date as the transaction/merger effective date), indicating a timely Form 4 filing.

Context

  • This was a merger-related cashout (disposition to issuer), not an open-market sale or a purchase. The $12.00 per-share payment reflects the merger consideration paid to Semrush shareholders at the effective time.
  • Derivative entries reflect treatment of RSUs/options under the deal: some awards were cancelled and cashed out, others were converted into restricted stock units of Adobe based on specified formulas. The Form 4 lists those derivative disposals without individual cash values because conversion/cash-out treatment varies by award.
