Espley Samantha Jane 4

What Happened

• Samantha Jane Espley, a director of Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. (PZG), had 20,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) settle into 20,000 shares on January 26, 2026 (reported on Form 4 filed Jan 29, 2026). The filing shows an acquisition of 20,000 shares and a simultaneous disposition of 20,000 shares under derivative transaction code M. No per-share price or total dollar value is reported on the form (N/A).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-01-26; Form 4 filed: 2026-01-29 (late filing).
• Transaction codes: M (exercise/conversion of a derivative security) showing 20,000 shares acquired and 20,000 shares disposed.
• Prices/values: Not reported (N/A).
• Footnotes: F1 — each RSU converts into one share at settlement; F2 — the award was granted Jan 26, 2024 and vested upon meeting its vesting condition.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed on this Form 4.
• Timeliness: Filing flagged late; issuer notes delay due to the reporting person's initial EDGAR Next enrollment/account setup.

Context

• This appears to be an RSU settlement (conversion of deferred compensation units into common shares). The simultaneous acquisition and disposal of the same number of shares often reflects routine administrative actions such as tax withholding or sell-to-cover to satisfy withholding obligations, though the form does not state the reason or any proceeds. Award settlements are compensation-related and should not be interpreted as a direct bullish or bearish trade signal.
