Director executes option exercise-and-sell, retaining a meaningful equity stake.
Fariba Danesh, a director of Aehr Test Systems, exercised a non-qualified option for 7,000 shares at $2.25 on April 13, 2026, then sold those 7,000 shares at about $71.49 each. She also sold 3,500 shares at $70.045 on April 10, 2026 in open-market transactions.
These transactions combine an option exercise with a net sale of 10,500 shares, a pattern often used to monetize option value. Following the trades, Danesh holds 13,143 shares directly, and the reported balance includes unvested restricted stock units, indicating she maintains ongoing equity exposure linked to company performance.
The filing shows no remaining derivative positions in the derivative summary, suggesting this option grant has been fully exercised. The overall picture is a partial reduction of equity exposure while keeping a sizable stake, consistent with routine portfolio and compensation management rather than a full exit.
