Key Details

• Transaction date: 2025-12-04; Report filed: 2026-03-19 (late filing).
• Transaction type/code: Sale (S).
• Shares sold: 300,000 at $1.99 per share; total value ≈ $597,000.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
• Footnote F1: Filing delayed because the reporting person initially believed the transfer was a non‑reportable pledge; now reported and the matter is the subject of an arbitral dispute.
• Footnote F2: The $1.99 price reflects an implied per‑share value under an arrangement described as a non‑recourse stock loan (loan proceeds ≈ 45% of market value), not a negotiated open‑market sale price.

Context
The filing indicates this was a transfer tied to a stock‑loan arrangement rather than a straightforward open‑market sale; such loans involve transferring shares as collateral and receiving loan proceeds, and the reported per‑share figure can reflect an implied valuation rather than an executed sale price. As a 10% owner, Pesic’s transactions are subject to Section 16 reporting and greater scrutiny. This Form 4 was filed late, and the transaction’s nature is currently disputed in arbitration; these facts are disclosure items, not commentary on motive.
