Key Details

- Consideration: $10.90 per share under the Merger Agreement → total ≈ $3,843,318.20 (footnote). Filing lists disposition price as N/A because shares were converted in the merger.
- Shares disposed: 352,598. Shares of common stock were automatically converted at the Effective Time, so the reporting person no longer holds those common shares.

- Filing timing: Reported on 2026-06-16 (same day as the transaction reported).
Context
This disposition was a cash-out tied to the company’s merger (Merger Sub merged into the issuer and the issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of the buyer). Such merger-related conversions are routine corporate actions and differ from insider open‑market sales; they represent contract consideration under the Merger Agreement rather than a signal of personal trading intent.
