Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-04-29 (Amended Form 4 filed 2026-05-07 correcting the identity of the acquiring trust).
- Purchase details: 120,482 shares @ $1.25 (reported) ≈ $150,000; footnote notes $1.245 per share and the bundled 1,000,000 warrants.
- Warrants: 1,000,000 warrants, $1.50 exercise, 5-year term, not exercisable until 10/29/2026 (derivative reported as acquired).
- Holdings/structure notes: some securities are held in trusts and partnerships (see footnotes: holdings by Marla Garchik Irrevocable 2020 Trust, Garchik Irrevocable 2019 Trust, Garchik Universal LP); Mr. Garchik disclaims beneficial ownership beyond his pecuniary interest (F1–F4).
- Vesting notes: other filings/footnotes reference option vesting schedules (monthly over 12 months; annually over 3 years).
- Filing note: This is an Amendment No. 1 (filed 2026-05-07) correcting the identity of the trust that acquired the shares/warrants on 4/29/2026. The original Form 4 filing date is not shown in the provided excerpt.
Context
- The warrants are not immediately exercisable, so they do not convert to shares until after 10/29/2026 if exercised at $1.50.
- As a 10% owner rather than an operating executive, these transactions reflect holdings and structured transfers through trusts/partnerships; the filing includes standard disclaimers about beneficial ownership.
- The amendment corrects administrative details (the acquiring trust) and is not itself a sale or disposition.
