Virtus AIO (NYSE: AIO) reclassifies 11.5K insider share sales

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund (AIO) reported that portfolio manager James C. K. Chen amended a prior insider report to reclassify transactions on August 10, 2026 as sales rather than dispositions to the issuer. On that date, he directly sold a total of 11,485.2589 shares of the fund in three non-derivative transactions at prices between $26.1208 and $26.2050 per share. The filing does not state Chen’s share holdings after these transactions, and the Rule 10b5‑1 checkbox is not marked as being pursuant to a trading plan.

FAQ

What insider transaction did AIO disclose in this amended Form 4?

The fund disclosed that James C. K. Chen filed an amendment correcting prior coding and reporting that he sold 11,485.2589 shares of Virtus Artificial Intelligence & Technology Opportunities Fund on August 10, 2026 in three non-derivative transactions.

How many AIO shares did James C. K. Chen sell and at what prices?

James C. K. Chen sold 11,485.2589 shares of AIO on August 10, 2026 in three trades: 3,853.2589 shares at $26.1208, 7,382 shares at $26.1553, and 250 shares at $26.2050 per share.

What was corrected by this AIO Form 4/A amendment?

The amendment states it is “amending to correct transaction Code from D to S”, changing the coding of the reported transactions to show them as sales rather than dispositions to the issuer, without altering the reported share amounts or prices.

Were James C. K. Chen’s AIO sales under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan?

The filing’s Rule 10b5‑1 checkbox is set to false, indicating the reported sales on August 10, 2026 were not affirmatively designated as being made pursuant to a Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan.

Does the Form 4/A state James C. K. Chen’s AIO holdings after these sales?

For each of the three reported sales, the field for total shares following the transaction is left blank, so the filing does not state James C. K. Chen’s remaining direct holdings after the August 10, 2026 transactions.
