Key Details
- Transaction date: April 23, 2026 (merger closing).
- Price: $21.50 per share (Merger Consideration); total ≈ $3,036,552.50, subject to withholding taxes.
- Shares disposed (by line items): 33,900; 37,500; 32,335; 22,500; 15,000 — total 141,235.
- Shares owned after the transaction: Not disclosed in the provided filing.
- Relevant footnotes: Options and RSUs fully vested immediately prior to the Merger; at closing, each option/RSU was canceled and converted into the right to receive cash equal to the Merger Consideration (options paid the spread over exercise price). Withholding taxes apply (see F1–F4, F6–F8).
- Filing timeliness: No late filing flag indicated in the provided information.
Context
- These were derivative dispositions tied to the takeover by Servier (Merger Agreement dated March 6, 2026); the Merger Sub merged into Day One and the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Servier. Unvested awards vested immediately before closing and were cashed out at the merger price.
- This is a cash‑out via corporate transaction (disposition to issuer) rather than an open‑market sale; such conversions are routine in M&A and reflect deal mechanics rather than an independent trading decision by the insider.
