Kidoz (KDOZF) 10% Owner Tryon M. Williams — 50,000 Options Expire
What Happened
- Tryon M. Williams, reported as a 10% owner of Kidoz Inc. (KDOZF), had 50,000 stock options with a CAD$0.50 (≈US$0.39) exercise price expire unexercised on Feb 1, 2026. The filing records this as an expiration of a short derivative position (transaction code E) and shows a notional value of about $19,500.
- No shares were bought or sold in this event — the options lapsed, so Williams lost the right to acquire up to 50,000 shares at that strike.

Context
- An option expiration is a derivative lapse, not a market sale — it simply removes the holder’s right to buy shares at the stated strike. It does not directly produce proceeds or change outstanding common shares unless previously exercised.
- Williams is a 10% owner and has multiple option grants referenced in the filing (examples: 50,000 at CAD$1.02 from 2021 vesting 2%/month; 150,000 at CAD$0.50 from 2022 vesting 2%/month; 50,000 at CAD$0.30 from 2023; 168,750 at CAD$0.20 from 2024; 50,000 at CAD$0.25 from 2025). These outstanding grants and their vesting schedules are material to his future potential ownership and dilution.
