Precision Optics (POCI) CEO Joseph Forkey Receives 6,742-Share Award

What Happened
Forkey Joseph Norman, Chief Executive Officer of Precision Optics Corporation, was granted an award of 6,742 shares of common stock on September 21, 2026. The shares were issued at $0.00 per share (total reported value $0) and are fully vested at grant, according to the filing. This is a company grant (award) rather than a market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-21 (reported on Form 4 filed 2026-09-24).
• Transaction type/code: Award/Grant (code A). Price: $0.00 per share; total reported value $0.
• Shares granted: 6,742 shares; fully vested at time of grant (Footnote F1: issued under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Timeliness: Filing was submitted 3 days after the transaction date; insiders are generally required to file Form 4 within two business days, so this appears later than typical.

Context
Stock awards (especially when fully vested at grant) are compensation events and do not in themselves signal a purchase or sale decision by the insider. They increase the insider’s ownership and dilute existing shareholders to a small degree, but the filing gives no information about any immediate sale or subsequent disposition of these shares.
