Context
- These were merger-related dispositions under the Arcellx–Gilead Agreement and Plan of Merger: public shareholders who tendered shares received $115/share plus one CVR; in-the‑money options were canceled and converted into cash payments plus CVRs. This is a corporate transaction tied to the change in control rather than an open-market sale by an insider.
