- Footnotes / mechanics:
- F1: The 8,500 PSUs were granted Jan 31, 2024; 50% vested on May 4, 2026 after a FILSPARI net‑revenue performance metric was met; an additional 25% may vest on Jan 31, 2027 subject to continued service.
- F2/F3: Portions of the sales were to cover tax withholding associated with the PSU settlement ("sell-to-cover") and at least one sale was executed under a pre-established Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan. The filing indicates these sales were not discretionary trades meant to signal a view on the stock.
- Filing date: Report filed May 6, 2026 — appears timely relative to the May 4–6 transactions.
Context
- PSUs (performance restricted stock units) are contingent awards that convert to shares only if performance goals are met; 4,250 PSUs vested here due to achievement of a revenue milestone and were converted into shares.
- Some or all of the converted shares were sold to satisfy tax withholding requirements and under a pre-set 10b5‑1 plan; such administrative sell‑to‑cover transactions are routine and do not necessarily indicate the insider's market view.
