What Happened
Kevin Rakin, a director of Quantum-Si Inc. (QSI), was reported to have acquired 251,185 derivative shares on 2026-05-18 at a $0.00 price (no cash paid).

Context
This is a derivative award distributed in kind by a HighCape fund to its limited partners and tied to vesting at the company’s next annual meeting. It was not a public-market purchase or sale and did not generate cash proceeds. Because the shares originate from a fund distribution and Mr. Rakin is connected to the fund’s GP entities, the filing reflects both the distribution and the GP-related beneficial ownership disclosures rather than a typical personal open-market trade.
