Context
These are founder (Class B) shares distributed by the sponsor rather than an open‑market purchase or options exercise. Founder shares typically convert into Class A shares at the time of a SPAC’s initial business combination; such distributions and conversions are structural/corporate events and do not, by themselves, indicate an insider’s trading view.
