Terrill Damon 4

What Happened Terrill Damon, Alpha Teknova’s General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, received a grant of 148,000 derivative shares (reported as an acquisition, code A) on February 15, 2026. The grant is reported at $0.00 per share (common for compensation awards/RSUs or similar instruments) and thus shows no immediate cash outlay. This is a compensation award rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: February 15, 2026; Form 4 filed March 9, 2026.
• Instrument/amount: 148,000 derivative shares granted (code A); reported price $0.00.
• Vesting: The shares/options vest in 48 equal monthly installments beginning February 15, 2026 (per footnote).
• Shares owned after transaction: Not disclosed in the provided excerpt of the filing.
• Filing timeliness: The Form 4 was filed ~22 days after the grant date, which is later than the typical 2-business-day reporting requirement for insiders; late filing delays public transparency.

Context This was a time-based equity award that vests monthly over four years. It is a compensation grant (not an immediate purchase or sale), so it reflects company compensation, not a direct market sentiment signal. The reported $0.00 price indicates the award was granted rather than bought on the open market; the eventual value depends on shares vesting and future stock price.
