Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-16; Form 4 filed 2026-01-21 (filed 5 days after the transaction).
• Shares sold: 22,362; weighted average price $6.62; total proceeds ≈ $148,036.

• Purpose: Sale made to cover tax liability in connection with RSU vesting (footnote F1).
• Shares beneficially owned after the transaction: 6,025,840 total (includes 5,517,778 outstanding shares + 508,062 RSUs that have not yet vested) (footnote F3).
• Prior reporting notes: filing corrects earlier reporting omissions related to past RSU grants and excludes certain option shares as explained in footnote F4.
• Transaction code: S (Sale); functionally a tax-withholding sale (F).

Context

• Tax-withholding sales tied to RSU vesting are common and often routine; they do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
• As a 10% owner, Badawi’s holdings are substantial; this sale was a small, administrative disposition relative to total reported beneficial ownership.
• The Form 4 was filed five days after the transaction date, which exceeds the typical 2-business-day reporting window and may indicate a late filing.
