WALTER W EDWARD 4

What Happened

• Walter W. Edward, a director of Claros Mortgage Trust, purchased 25,000 shares of CMTG in open-market transactions on February 24, 2026. The filing reports a weighted-average price of $2.28 per share for a total of $56,895. This was a purchase (a bullish action in the sense it increases insider holdings).

Key Details

• Transaction type: Purchase (code P) — multiple open-market trades aggregated in the filing.
• Date: February 24, 2026. Weighted-average price: $2.28; execution prices ranged from $2.255 to $2.28.
• Total value: $56,895. The reporting person offers to provide a breakdown of the number of shares bought at each price on request (footnote).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in this excerpt of the Form 4.
• Notable footnotes:
  • F1: Price is a weighted average; multiple transactions at $2.255–$2.28.
  • F2 & F4: Some shares are held by WillJen2 LLC and WillJen LLC; Mr. Edward is the managing member and is deemed to beneficially own those holdings but disclaims ownership except for any pecuniary interest.
  • F3: Corrects a prior (May 29, 2024) scrivener’s error reallocating 7,000 shares between WillJen and WillJen2.
• Filing timeliness: Reported for Feb 24 transaction and filed Feb 26, 2026 — within the usual Form 4 reporting window (timely).

Context

• Purchases by insiders can be viewed as a stronger signal than routine sales, but filings are factual records only; they do not explain motive.
• The transaction was executed in multiple trades (hence the weighted average price); the filer has offered to provide the per-trade breakdown upon request.
