- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing excerpt.
- Footnotes of note:
- F1: Some Common Shares relate to options that may be earned/delivered under an earnout tied to VWAP milestones ($15, $20, $25) and will be earned one‑third when each milestone is met over a 30-trading-day period (window runs from 90 days after closing through July 1, 2031). The mergers closed on July 1, 2026.
- F2: Some awards are options received in exchange for prior Securitize stock options as part of the merger.
- F3: Certain options were vested and exercisable as of July 1, 2026.
- F4: As of July 1, 2026, 69,436 options were vested/exercisable and 152,760 remained unvested; unvested options vest at 13,887 per quarter.
- Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed July 6 for July 1 transactions; Form 4s are typically due within two business days of the transaction, so this filing is later than the usual two-business-day window.
Context
- These entries are awards/option-related (transaction code A) rather than open-market purchases or sales — they represent issuances and derivative grants tied to the merger and earnout structure, not immediate cash purchases or dispositions.
- For retail investors: awards and option conversions after a merger are common and reflect deal-related compensation/earnout mechanics rather than a simple buy/sell signal. No immediate sale of shares is reported in this filing.
