ASUR Director Bjorn Reynolds Exercises 5,000 Options
What Happened
Bjorn Reynolds, a director of Asure Software, exercised 5,000 stock options on May 7, 2026. The exercise reflected a $7.86 per-share option price (5,000 x $7.86 = $39,300). To cover the exercise price and tax withholding, 4,282 of the resulting shares were surrendered/withheld at an effective $9.18 per share (4,282 x $9.18 = $39,309). Net shares retained after the withholding were 718 shares (5,000 − 4,282). This sequence is a cashless-style exercise (options converted to shares with a portion withheld for payment/taxes).

Context
- This was an option exercise with shares withheld to cover the exercise price/taxes (a routine cashless-style transaction), not an open-market sale or purchase. Withholding of shares for tax/price is common and does not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
- The amounts involved are modest (net ~718 shares retained), so this is a small insider acquisition in dollar terms.
