Context
- The 251,703‑share item was an award of fully‑vested shares issued to the external advisor (New York City Advisors) in connection with fees — not an option exercise or cash purchase of those particular shares. Schorsch’s purchases on 6/25 and 6/29 were open‑market buys.
- As a reported 10% owner with control/oversight of affiliated entities, Schorsch’s activity reflects acquisitions by him and entities he controls; the report contains standard disclaimers about beneficial ownership among group members.
- These are acquisitions (not sales); purchases and awards can be interpreted by investors as increased insider exposure, though the award reflects compensation to the advisor rather than a market purchase by Schorsch personally.
