SILVERMAN LOU 4

What Happened

• Lou Silverman, a non-employee director of STAAR Surgical Co. (STAA), had 10,683 derivative units converted/exercised on June 18, 2026 (reported as code M) and simultaneously reported a disposition of 10,683 derivative units (both at $0.00). On the same date he was also granted 6,182 restricted stock units (code A) at $0.00. The filings show no cash purchase or sale value — these are equity vesting/conversion and a new RSU grant.

Context

• These transactions reflect routine director equity compensation: vested RSUs converting to shares (reported under conversion/exercise) and a new annual RSU grant. There is no reported cash sale or purchase here; the $0.00 prices reflect equity issuance/vesting mechanics rather than open-market trades. This is informational for investors tracking insider equity awards rather than a market buy/sell signal.
