Liquidia (LQDA) Director Paul Manning Converts 55,116 Shares

What Happened

  • Paul B. Manning, a director of Liquidia Corp (LQDA), reported a change in form of ownership on Feb 11, 2026. The filing shows 55,116 shares reported as disposed from the PBM 2024 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT) and 55,116 shares reported as acquired directly, both at $42.63 per share (transaction value $2,349,595). The exchange was a withdrawal of shares from the GRAT in exchange for cash, resulting in fewer shares held indirectly and more held directly by Manning. The filing cites Rule 16a-13, so this is an exempt change in the form of beneficial ownership rather than an open-market buy or sell.

Context

  • This filing reflects a reclassification of ownership (conversion from trust/indirect to direct) and is exempt under Rule 16a-13, so it should not be read as a routine market sale or purchase. Such form changes are typically administrative and do not necessarily signal insider sentiment.
