Summary
BillionToOne (BLLN) GC Thomas P. Lynch Exercises Options, Sells Shares
What Happened
Thomas P. Lynch — General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Secretary of BillionToOne (BLLN) — exercised a total of 35,112 option shares on 2026-09-17 at multiple strike prices (19,384 @ $8.65; 6,968 @ $11.55; 2,920 @ $17.12; 5,840 @ $30.78) for an aggregate exercise cost of approximately $477,897. The same day he sold those 35,112 shares in the open market for weighted-average prices around $110.30–$110.36, generating gross proceeds of about $3.87 million. The pattern is consistent with a cashless exercise (exercise followed by immediate sale).
Key Details

- Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the excerpt of the filing provided.
Context
- This was an option exercise immediately followed by sales — a common way insiders monetize vested options (cashless exercise). The presence of a 10b5-1 plan indicates the sales were pre-arranged.
- These transactions are routine monetization rather than an outright open-market purchase (purchases are generally viewed as stronger bullish signals). This summary is factual and does not infer motive.
