Staples Anna Maria 4

What Happened
Anna Maria Staples, manager of Paloma Acquisition Corp I's sponsor and identified on the Form 4, recorded a disposition/forfeiture of 200,000 Class B ordinary shares on April 4, 2026. The shares were disposed at $0.00, with no cash changing hands (derivative/forfeiture transaction). This was not an open-market sale by the insider but a forfeiture of shares held by the sponsor.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-04; Form 4 filed: 2026-04-07.
• Transaction type/code: Other acquisition or disposition (J) — reported as a disposition/forfeiture of derivative shares.
• Shares: 200,000 Class B ordinary shares; Price/Consideration: $0.00; Total value reported: $0.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing for Ms. Staples or the Sponsor.
• Relevant footnotes:
  • F1: Class B shares convert one-for-one into Class A shares at the SPAC’s initial business combination (or earlier at holder’s option).
  • F2: The 200,000 Class B shares were forfeited to the issuer by the Sponsor at no cost due to expiration of the underwriters’ over‑allotment option.
  • F3: Ms. Staples is manager of the Sponsor and may be deemed to have voting/investment discretion over Sponsor-held securities; she disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.

Context: This was a sponsor forfeiture tied to the expiration of an over-allotment option, not a market sale by the executive. For retail investors, forfeitures like this are administrative/corporate-structure events rather than direct insider selling pressure.
