Key Details
- Transaction date: April 23, 2026; Form 4 filed April 27, 2026 (filed within the two-business-day Form 4 window).
- Option exercise: 3,600 shares exercised at $0.86/share (total $3,096) — footnotes indicate options were exercised for these shares.
- Sale: 3,600 shares sold at a weighted average price of $1.67/share for $5,995; sale executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted Aug 16, 2024 (footnote F1, F4).

Context
- This was a classic exercise-and-sell (cashless) transaction: options were exercised and the resulting shares were sold the same day, per the filing footnotes. Sales under an established 10b5-1 plan are typically pre-arranged and often reflect routine liquidity rather than a timely view on the company. The dollar amounts here are modest (net proceeds roughly $2,900 before fees/taxes).
