Full House Resorts (FLL) CFO Lewis Fanger Exercises 50,000 Options
What Happened
Lewis A. Fanger, President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer and a director of Full House Resorts (FLL), exercised 50,000 stock options on May 8, 2026. The exercise price was $1.70 per share, so the exercise value was $85,000 (50,000 × $1.70). To satisfy the exercise price/tax withholding, the issuer withheld 33,074 shares (valued at $2.57 each, totaling $85,000). The filing also reports the corresponding disposition/cancellation of the derivative option instrument (50,000 units at $0.00). Net new shares received by Fanger = 50,000 acquired − 33,074 withheld = 16,926 shares.

Context
This was a standard option exercise with a cashless withholding to cover the exercise cost/taxes — a routine administrative step that results in fewer net new shares than gross exercised. The options were fully vested in 2019 (per footnote), so this is not a new grant. Cashless withholding and derivative cancellation are common and do not, by themselves, indicate a change in insider sentiment.
