CoinShares (CSHR) Interim CFO Richard Nash Receives Shares & Options
What Happened
Richard Stephen Nash, Interim Chief Financial Officer of CoinShares PLC (CSHR), acquired 96,914 ordinary shares on March 31, 2026 and was reported as receiving 401,283 derivative securities (converted options) on April 1, 2026. The Form 4 shows no cash paid for these transactions — the shares and options were issued in connection with a previously announced business combination that converted holdings in CoinShares International Limited (CSIL) into shares and option rights of CoinShares PLC. The filing lists the derivative items at $0.00 but footnotes explain these are converted options with an adjusted exercise price and a specified vesting date.

Context
- These transactions reflect a corporate reorganization (share-and-option conversion) tied to the business combination, not an open‑market purchase or sale. The derivative line reflects converted option rights rather than a new cash exercise; vesting and the adjusted exercise price are governed by the conversion terms described in the footnotes.
