The shares were issued at EUR 24.50 each (reported equivalent $28.27), for a total transaction value of $282,700. This was a purchase (an insider buy rather than a sale).

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-09-15 (Form 4 filed 2026-09-17 — timely under the SEC two-business-day rule).
• Transaction type/code: Purchase (P) via participation in a Parallel Offering (subscription to newly issued shares, not an open-market trade).
• Price per share: EUR 24.50 (equivalent $28.27 as reported).
• Shares purchased: 10,000; total value: $282,700.
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the filing.
• Notable footnote: Participation in the Parallel Offering related to Star Bulk’s dual listing on Euronext Athens.

Context

• This was a direct subscription for newly issued shares in the company’s offering in Greece following the dual listing, not a market purchase of existing shares. Insider purchases can be viewed as more informative than routine sales, but they do not guarantee future stock performance.
