Context
- This was not an open-market sale by an executive but an institutional tender/merger disposition as part of XOMA Royalty’s acquisition of Generation Bio — the shares were exchanged for merger consideration (cash + CVR), not sold on the public market. The CVR is non-tradeable and its extra payment is contingent on future events, so total per-share consideration could be up to $4.2913 + $25.01 = $29.3013 only if contingent conditions are met.
