Key Details
- Transaction date: 2026-03-06. Form filed: 2026-03-10 (timely — filing occurred two business days after the transactions).
- Gross sale proceeds reported: $159,285 (aggregate of listed sales).
- Shares acquired via exercise (per reported non-zero acquisitions): 5,955 shares at the exercise prices listed above.
- Shares disposed (sales/surrenders reported with value): 4,967 shares (including a 1,131-share surrender to the issuer to cover exercise costs/taxes).
- Notable footnotes:
- F13–F16: Several option exercises were larger tranches where many shares were withheld by the issuer to cover exercise costs and taxes (e.g., exercised 2,297; 4,329; 4,871; and 5,010 options — see footnotes for withheld counts).
- F17: 1,131 shares were surrendered to the issuer (market value $36,915.84) to pay exercise costs/taxes for specific option lots.
- Other footnotes (F1–F12) describe vesting schedules and milestone-based exercisability for various grants.
- Shares owned after the transactions: not specified in the supplied excerpt of the filing.
Context
- This was largely a set of option exercises with simultaneous share dispositions and share-withholding to cover exercise costs and taxes (a form of cashless exercise). That is a routine insider transaction structure—exercising vested options and using withheld or surrendered shares to satisfy exercise costs/taxes, with some remaining shares sold in the open market.
- The filing is factual and does not indicate insider intent; sales to cover exercise costs are common and don’t necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
