BJERKHOLT ERIC 4

What Happened

• Eric Bjerkholt, a director of Cerus Corp (CERS), was granted 60,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 2026-06-02 (transaction code A — award/grant). The grant is reported at $0.00 per RSU on the Form 4 (total reported value $0), reflecting that these are contingent equity awards rather than an open‑market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-02; reported same day (Form 4 filed 2026-06-02).
• Grant: 60,000 RSUs; reported acquisition price: $0.00 (award).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote: RSUs granted under the Issuer's 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. Each RSU is a contingent right to one share; vesting occurs on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant or the day prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continuous service.
• Filing timeliness: No late filing indicated (period of report and filing date are the same).

Context

• RSU awards are compensation and are not the same as an open‑market purchase—they do not directly indicate the insider buying shares with personal funds. Vesting conditions and continued service are required before shares are delivered.
• Such grants to directors are common as part of director compensation packages and should be viewed as planned equity compensation rather than an immediate bullish market signal.
