Kiniksa (KNSA) Director Barry D. Quart Receives RSUs & Exercises Options
What Happened
- Barry D. Quart, a director of Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International, plc (KNSA), received equity awards and exercised an option on May 29, 2026. The filing shows grants of 12,158 RSUs and 2,026 RSUs (total 14,184 RSUs) that vested in full, and an exercise/conversion of 2,799 derivative shares (options). The filing also reports the disposition (surrender) of 2,799 shares on the same date. Prices for the grants and the reported dispositions are $0.00 in the filing (typical for RSU grants and net settlements).
- This is primarily an award/vesting event (RSUs granted and vested). The option exercise followed by an equal-number disposition looks like a net settlement or surrender of shares (commonly used to cover taxes or exercise costs), not an open‑market sale for cash.

Context
- RSU grants and vesting are compensation events and do not necessarily signal buying or selling intent by the insider. The exercise plus immediate disposition of the same number of shares is often a net settlement or share surrender (commonly to cover taxes or exercise costs) rather than an open‑market sale.
