- F1/F3: Reported prices are weighted averages; purchases occurred in multiple trades within the stated price ranges (Mar 30 range $18.195–$18.25; Mar 31 range $18.84–$19.58). The reporting person can provide per‑trade breakdown on request.
- F2/F4: Some shares are held by Tellus BioVentures LLC and the Leon O. Moulder, Jr. Revocable Trust; Mr. Moulder is Managing Member/Trustee and may be deemed to have voting/dispositive power over those holdings but disclaims beneficial ownership except for his pecuniary interest.
Context
- These were open‑market purchases (not option exercises, gifts, or awards). Purchases by an executive can signal confidence, but filings don’t state motive.
- The holding entities (Tellus, the Trust) indicate some purchases may be held by entities associated with Mr. Moulder rather than directly in his name; that’s common but means ownership attribution has institutional/estate structure aspects.
