- The underlying acquisitions were conversions of ADK Class A units into Class A common stock (reported as exercise/conversion at $0.00 per share). Footnotes F1 and F2 explain that ADK units are exchangeable for Class A shares and that an equivalent number of Class V shares were cancelled upon conversion.
- Some sale price fields are weighted averages and the trades occurred within reported price ranges (see footnotes F4–F6, F8–F10 for ranges). One footnote (F7) notes a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted Dec 8, 2025 that includes automated sales through June 30, 2026; at least some sales are described as pursuant to that plan.
- Filing: Form 4 was filed on 2026-05-29 for transactions between 2026-05-27 and 2026-05-29. The filing is marked late (timeliness = L).
Context
- These transactions appear to be conversions of exchangeable ADK units followed by immediate open-market sales (a cashless-type conversion + sale), rather than purchases — so they are liquidity events rather than new insider accumulation. Conversions occurred at $0 reported cost because they reflect an exchange of units for shares, as described in the footnotes.
- Post-transaction shareholdings are not provided in the summary above; consult the Form 4 for Aoki’s total holdings after these transactions. File footnotes provide fuller details (price ranges per sale, Rule 10b5-1 plan disclosure, and cancellation of Class V shares upon conversion).
