What Happened

The exercise was done on a cashless basis: the company withheld 1,070,565 of the warrant shares to cover the exercise cost and issued the reporting person the remaining 929,435 shares.

Context
- This was an exercise of in-the-money warrants followed by a share sale to cover the exercise cost — a common cashless-exercise mechanic rather than an outright market purchase or opportunistic sale of existing holdings.
- The reporting entity is an institutional/partnership-controlled holder (AE Red / AE Funds), not an individual CEO; the filing notes which AE Industrial Partners principals control voting/dispositive power.
