Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-22; reported on Form 4 filed 2026-05-27 (filed late relative to the 2-business-day Form 4 deadline).
• Reported amounts: 83,205 and 448,386 option shares (total 531,591) — recorded as derivative awards (code A).
• Price shown: $0.00 on Form 4 (reflects grant/assumption of options rather than a cash purchase).
• Footnote summary:
  • F1: Options were assumed and converted from Legacy Matternet options per the Merger Agreement; conversion ratio = 2.0801, and exercise price per share was adjusted by dividing the original price by the conversion ratio.
  • F2: Converted options vest in 48 equal monthly installments from the vesting commencement date.
• Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the filing.

Context These transactions reflect conversion/assumption of preexisting Legacy Matternet options into options of the combined issuer as part of the merger, not an open-market purchase or sale. Because these are derivative option awards (with multi-year vesting), they do not represent immediate stock purchases and should not be interpreted as an immediate bullish purchase signal. The late filing means the market received the disclosure after the 2-business-day Form 4 window.
