Singer William S. 4

What Happened

William S. Singer, a director of TAO Synergies Inc. (TAOX), received a grant of 35,000 derivative securities (reported as shares/options) on May 18, 2026. The grant was reported at an acquisition price of $0.00, so the Form 4 shows $0 cash paid at grant. This is an equity award (not a market purchase or sale) and does not represent an immediate sale or cash transaction.

Context

This was a grant of derivative securities (options/awards) to a board member — a common form of director compensation. The footnote indicates a one-year service-based vesting cliff after May 18, 2026; until vesting the options are not exercisable. Because it is an award (not a purchase or sale), it should not be interpreted as a direct buy/sell market signal.
