- Ownership/structure notes from the filing:
- The shares sold are held directly by ForDyne B.V., an entity jointly owned by Forbion funds. The filing explains complex institutional ownership and that Kersten is a partner/committee member of the Forbion entities; he disclaims direct beneficial ownership except to the extent of any pecuniary interest.
- Weighted-average prices / ranges: the filing includes weighted-average prices and footnotes offering to provide a per-price breakdown on request.
- No "shares owned after transaction" total was provided in the excerpt you supplied.
Context
- The transactions were executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (adopted Nov 11, 2025), which means the sales were preplanned and are commonly treated as routine rather than a real-time signal of insider sentiment.
- These sales were of shares held by an institutional entity (ForDyne/Forbion-related), not necessarily direct personal stock sales; the filing’s footnotes describe delegation of voting/dispositive powers and disclaimers of beneficial ownership.
