[Form 4/A] American Battery Technology Company Amended Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

American Battery Technology Company (ABAT) Chief Executive Officer and director Ryan Mitchell Melsert submitted an amended Form 4 (Form 4/A) dated 07/03/2025. The amendment corrects a typographical error contained in the original Form 4 filed 07/02/2025. In the earlier filing, Column 5 (shares beneficially owned following the first reported transaction on 06/30/2025) was misstated as 18,207,525 shares; the accurate figure is 1,827,525 shares. All other data, including the total share count after all reported transactions, was accurate in the original submission.

Following the amendment, Melsert’s declared direct ownership is 1,836,979 common shares. No derivative securities were reported. The filing contains no price information and does not alter the company’s capital structure; its sole purpose is to align the public record with the executive’s actual stake. The correction lowers the perceived insider ownership by roughly 16.4 million shares, a change that may affect assessments of insider alignment and float calculations but does not reflect any new purchase or sale of ABAT stock.

Positive

• Improved transparency: Correcting the overstated figure reinforces ABAT’s commitment to accurate insider reporting and regulatory compliance.

Negative

• Lower actual insider stake: CEO’s ownership is now confirmed at 1.8 M shares, not 18.2 M, potentially dampening perceptions of management–shareholder alignment.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR – Amendment fixes 10× overstatement of CEO’s share count; improves disclosure accuracy, no new transactions.

The Form 4/A eliminates a material clerical error that had inflated the CEO’s direct holdings ten-fold. Accurate insider ownership is critical for proxy advisory services and for investors assessing alignment of management interests. Because the total holdings after all transactions were correctly stated in the original filing, the market impact is limited to perception rather than economics. Nonetheless, the correction signals that the compliance team is attentive to Section 16 responsibilities.

Securities Analyst

TL;DR – Insider stake revised to 1.84 M shares; no cash flow, neutral valuation impact.

From a valuation standpoint the amendment is neutral; it does not involve purchases, sales, or option exercises. However, the updated figure (≈1.4 % of the 131 M share float) is far smaller than the erroneously reported 18 M (≈13.8 %). Investors focused on insider ownership ratios should adjust their models and sentiment indicators accordingly. The filing neither adds nor removes liquidity but corrects float calculations that feed into ownership screens.

Explanation of Responses:

1. On July 2, 2025, the reporting person filed a Form 4 (the "Original Filing"), which inadvertently reported that the amount of securities beneficially owned following the first reported transaction (Column 5) was "18,207,525," which number included an errant additional digit, and should have been "1,827,525." The total number of shares beneficially owned after all reported transactions reflected in the Original Filing was correct.
