Context

  • As a 10% owner, Gregg Williams is a large, long-term stakeholder; these private purchases are incremental additions to an already substantial position. Private purchases under SPAs often use agreed pricing mechanisms (here tied to previous Nasdaq prices) rather than real-time open-market pricing. This Form 4 is factual disclosure of the acquisitions and does not state motivations.
