Key Details
- Transaction date: March 10, 2026 (merger effective time). Filing date: March 12, 2026 (timely within the normal 2‑business‑day window).
- Dispositions reported (all "Disposition to the issuer" under the Merger):
- Common shares: 49,344; 79,051; 206,590 (total common = 334,985)
- Derivative/RSU line items: 20,302; 6,852; 3,671; 5,645 (total RSU shares = 36,470)
- Total converted: 371,455 shares (334,985 common + 36,470 RSU equivalents).
- Merger consideration: $4.50 per share in cash (per Footnote F1/F2) → ~ $1,671,548 for the 371,455 shares.
- Options: Footnote F3 notes any options with exercise prices above $4.50 were cancelled and settled for a Black‑Scholes cash amount (example listed: $17,361.27).
- Shares owned after transaction: the reported holdings subject to these entries were converted/cancelled in the merger (i.e., cashed out).
- Nature of transaction: Not an open‑market sale — these were merger cash‑outs under the Acquisition Agreement, so this is a corporate transaction rather than a discretionary insider sale.
Context
- This filing documents the automatic conversion/settlement of equity at merger close (routine when a company is acquired). It does not reflect a voluntary open‑market trade that would signal the insider’s short‑term view.
- For retail investors, purchases are generally more informative than merger cash‑outs; this is a corporate liquidity event paying fixed consideration.
