The filing reports the grant price as $0.00; a footnote clarifies this is an option award under the Agenus 2019 Equity Incentive Plan that vests over three years.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-08-05; Form 4 filed: 2026-08-07 (appears timely under Section 16 two-business-day rule).
• Award size: 200,000 share-based options (reported at $0.00).
• Vesting: 1/3 vests on the first anniversary of the grant date; the remaining 2/3 vest in two equal annual installments thereafter (per footnote).

Context

• This is an equity award (options) rather than an open-market purchase or sale; the grant does not result in immediately tradable shares until vesting (and any subsequent exercise) occurs. Such awards are common for directors and are part of compensation and retention programs; they do not by themselves indicate buying or selling sentiment.
