Key Details
- Transaction date: January 7, 2026.
- Exercise: 25,000 shares acquired at $1.09 each; total cash paid $27,250.
- Related derivative line: 25,000 shares reported as disposed (no cash amount listed) — appears on the same filing.
- Footnotes: F1 — options were granted March 29, 2016 and fully vested on the third anniversary of the grant; F2 — options granted under Village Farms’ Share-Based Compensation Plan (per 10-K/A filed Apr 25, 2025).

Context
- This was an option exercise (reporting code M). The filing shows the exercise of vested options to acquire shares; it does not show an immediate open‑market sale of the acquired shares in the provided data.
- Late filing means the disclosure reached the public market weeks/months after the trade; late Form 4s are common but reduce the usefulness of the signal for short‑term traders. The footnotes indicate these were long-held, vested options from a 2016 grant under the company’s compensation plan.
