- The filing indicates these sales were made to cover tax obligations arising from the settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs), not an independent open-market investment decision.
Key Details
- Transaction dates & prices: Feb 10, 2026 — 6,622 shares at a weighted avg price $18.12; Feb 11, 2026 — 241 shares at $18.00. Reported price range across all trades: $18.00–$18.41.
- Total sold: 6,863 shares for approximately $124,329. The filing reports a weighted average sales price.
- Reason: Sales were to cover tax withholding on RSU settlement (each RSU converts to one share). (Footnote F1)
- Holdings: Remaining shares are held by the Robert C. Malenka Living Trust (the reporting person is sole trustee with voting and dispositive power). (Footnote F3)
- Lock-up: The filing notes the Reporting Person agreed to a 180‑day IPO lock-up (final prospectus dated Oct 26, 2025); retained securities remain subject to that lock-up, subject to certain exceptions. (Footnote F1)
- Filing: Form 4 filed Feb 12, 2026. The filing does not indicate a late report.
Context
- These were sales (S) tied to tax withholding on RSU settlement — a common administrative reason insiders sell shares and not necessarily an indicator of the insider’s view on the company.
- RSUs: Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share upon settlement; the sold shares were used to satisfy the related tax obligations.
