What Happened

  • Jonasson Zachariah, Absci Corp’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Business Officer, is reported to have disposed of 17,496 shares on 2026-02-02 at $2.99 per share, for a total reported value of $52,313. The Form 4 lists the transaction as a sale, but a footnote clarifies the shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations connected to the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs), not a discretionary open-market sale.

Key Details

  • Transaction date and price: 2026-02-02 — 17,496 shares at $2.99 each.
  • Reported value: $52,313.
  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the provided data.
  • Footnote: F1 — shares were withheld by the issuer to cover tax withholding for RSU vesting; this was not a discretionary trade by the reporting person.
  • Timeliness: Period of report 2026-02-02, Form filed 2026-02-04 — filed within the normal 2-business-day window (not late).

Context

  • Withholding shares to cover taxes on vested RSUs is a routine administrative transaction and is not generally interpreted as a signal of the insider’s view on the company’s stock. Purchases or discretionary sales by insiders are typically more informative about sentiment than tax-withholding share disposals.
