Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-05-15 — Open-market purchase (P): 63,000 shares @ $3.95, $249,083 total.
- 2026-01-01 — Grant/award (A): 191,724 restricted shares @ $0.
- Shares owned after transaction: The filing excerpt provided does not state the insider’s total shares held after these acquisitions; the two transactions total 254,724 newly acquired shares.
- Footnote: The 191,724 shares are restricted stock awards under the issuer’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (Grant Date 2026-01-01) that vest in 12 equal quarterly installments over three years, subject to continued service. These shares were previously reported on Form 3 and were issued in an exempt transaction before the issuer’s registration under Section 12 (reported under Rule 16a-2(a)).
- Filing timeliness: Filing date 2026-05-18; the provided excerpt does not indicate a late filing status.
Context
- Restricted stock awards are not fully vested immediately; the 191,724 shares will vest quarterly over three years and thus are subject to forfeiture if the director leaves before vesting.
- Open-market purchases (like the 63,000-share buy) are direct acquisitions of stock and are often watched by investors as a more immediate signal of insider buying, though filings do not state the insider’s motivations.
