- Notable footnotes: transactions were automatically effected under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted March 12, 2026 (F1). Price columns are weighted averages covering price ranges (F2–F5). Exchange Agreement details: nonvoting common units + Class C shares were exchanged one-for-one for Class A shares; resulting Class A shares were used to settle the sale (F3, F6).
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in the provided filing data.
- Reporting relationship: Alclear is a 10% owner; by virtue of its relationship with Caryn Seidman Becker (sole manager/equityholder), the reporting person may be deemed a director by deputization (remarks).
Context
- The filing shows sales and a related conversion/settlement rather than an outright purchase (not a bullish purchase signal). The use of a 10b5-1 plan indicates the sales were pre-scheduled and automated, which is common for planned liquidity rather than an on-the-spot trade.
- The conversion/settlement reflects an organizational exchange of Alclear units and Class C stock into Class A shares under an existing Exchange Agreement; those shares were then used to settle the disposition.
- As a 10% owner (institutional/major holder), these transactions reflect holder reorganization/liquidity activity and should be interpreted differently than an insider’s opportunistic sale or a new purchase.
