Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-04; Form 4 filed 2026-06-08 (filed within the usual 2-business-day window).
• Grants: 10,100 RSUs + 39,800 derivative award units = 49,900 total.
• Price: $0.00 per share (awards; no cash paid).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in this Form 4.
• Footnotes:
  • F1: The reported shares are Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) under Absci’s 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan; each RSU represents the right to receive one share.
  • F2: The awards vest (or options become exercisable) in full on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant or (ii) the issuer’s next annual meeting, subject to the reporting person’s continuous service through that date.

Context These were equity awards (not a market purchase or exercise-for-cash). RSUs convert to actual shares only upon vesting and settlement, so no new voting shares or sales occurred at grant. Grants to directors are commonly used for compensation and retention and do not by themselves indicate immediate buying or selling sentiment.
