Halinski John William 4

What Happened
John William Halinski, a director of Astrotech Corporation (ASTC), was granted 6,006 shares of restricted stock on 2025-05-14. The Form 4 reports an acquisition price of $0 for the award and notes that 100% of the restricted shares vested immediately on the grant date. This was an equity award (not a purchase or sale), so it reflects compensation/benefit rather than an open-market investment.

• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (A).
• Shares acquired: 6,006 restricted shares; reported acquisition price: $0.
• Vesting: Footnote states 100% of shares vested immediately on grant date.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.
• No 10b5-1 plan, tax withholding, or sale noted in the provided data.

Context
Restricted stock awards are compensation-related grants that may come with transfer or sale restrictions; because these shares vested immediately, Halinski became the beneficial owner of the shares at grant. Such awards are routine forms of director compensation and do not necessarily indicate the director’s personal buy/sell sentiment. The long delay between the transaction date and the Form 4 filing is noteworthy — timely filings are required by the SEC and late reports can be informative about disclosure practices.
