What Happened
Kirk Sigurd, a director of Assertio Holdings, had a total of 30,760 company share interests disposed of in connection with the company’s sale and merger effective June 16, 2026. The Form 4 reports: 12,017 outstanding common shares cancelled in a change-of-control conversion (listed at $0 on the form), plus three derivative dispositions to the issuer of 7,913, 5,415 and 5,415 share-equivalents. Under the Merger Agreement, outstanding common shares and vested RSUs were converted into the right to receive $23.50 per share in cash; outstanding options with exercise prices below $23.50 were cashed out for the difference (Offer Price minus exercise price) times the option shares. At the $23.50 offer price, the 30,760 shares equate to $722,860 before taxes; however, option cash-outs may be lower depending on exercise prices.

Context
These dispositions are merger-driven conversions/settlements required by the acquisition, not open-market sales; they reflect contract terms of the Merger Agreement rather than a trading decision by the director. RSU and common-stock cancellations deliver the straight $23.50-per-share cash payment; option cash proceeds (if any) equal the excess of $23.50 over each option’s strike price times the number of option shares.
