Key Details

  • Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the Form 4 provided.
  • Footnotes: These dispositions settled three tranches of a prepaid variable forward (VPF) entered June 6, 2023. For each tranche, physical settlement applied because the volume-weighted average price at maturity was below the VPF Floor Price; accordingly, CD transferred the shares to the buyer and no additional payment from the buyer was required at settlement.
  • Insider status: Reporting person is a 10% owner (institutional/beneficial owner), not an indication of executive-level trading; CD Financial LLC is the record holder and DeSantis shares voting and dispositive power per the filing.
  • Filing date: Form 4 was filed July 14, 2026 (transactions occurred July 10–14, 2026). The filing does not indicate lateness.

Context
These transactions reflect the physical settlement of a previously entered prepaid variable forward agreement rather than an open-market sale initiated for immediate cash proceeds. For retail investors, note that settlements of structured forward contracts often involve transferring shares as contract fulfillment and do not necessarily signal the same motivational signals as a routine open-market sale by an executive.
