Context This was an automatic conversion of convertible preferred securities into common stock tied to the effectiveness of Kardigan’s registration statement (per footnote). Because HRTG is a 10% institutional owner (general partner entity), this reflects capital structure conversion rather than a manager/executive choosing to buy or sell stock. No sale proceeds or market trades were reported, and no per-share value was disclosed in the filing. The Form 4 was filed several days after the transaction date.
