Zalenko Neal F. 4

What Happened
Neal F. Zalenko, a director of Eagle Capital Growth Fund, acquired a total of 1,088 shares in two purchases: 588 shares at $10.80 on 2026-01-27 (≈ $6,350) and 500 shares at $10.80 on 2026-02-02 (≈ $5,400). These were purchases (not sales), which investors often view as a more informative/positive insider action than routine disposals.

Key Details

• Transaction dates and prices:
  • 2026-01-27 — 588 shares at $10.80 (Acquired) — ~$6,350. (Marked "L" — late reporting.)
  • 2026-02-02 — 500 shares at $10.80 (Acquired) — ~$5,400. (Open market purchase, code "P".)
• Total acquired: 1,088 shares for approximately $11,750.
• Shares owned after the transactions: Not disclosed in the filing.
• Notable footnotes: The filing does not indicate a 10b5‑1 plan or other special footnotes; the Jan 27 trade was filed late (transactionTimeliness = "L"), which delays public disclosure and may be relevant for timing analysis.

Context

• These were straightforward purchases (no option exercises, gifts, or immediate sales reported). Purchases by directors can be interpreted by some investors as a sign of confidence, but filings don’t state motives.
• The late report for the Jan 27 purchase means the market did not see that trade until the Form 4 was filed on 2026-02-04.
