[Form 4] Arteris, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Arteris, Inc. (AIP) – Form 4 insider transaction filing

Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Nicholas B. Hawkins reported four open-market sales totalling 8,837 common shares during July 2025 at a weighted-average price of approximately $9.09 per share.

• 07/02/2025: Three sales (1,489 sh, 891 sh, 1,509 sh) at $8.9924 each, executed solely to satisfy tax-withholding obligations stemming from the release of restricted stock units (RSUs).
• 07/07/2025: Sale of 4,948 sh at a weighted average price of $9.2207; transaction executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 20-May-2024.

After these transactions, Hawkins’ direct beneficial ownership stands at 130,548 shares, down from roughly 139,385 shares, a reduction of about 6.3 % of his prior holdings. No derivative security activity was reported.

The filing does not disclose any option exercises, purchases, or new awards. All sales were made on the open market; the price range for the 07/07 trades was $9.00–$9.35.

Because a portion of the shares sold covered RSU-related tax liabilities and the remainder was executed under a previously established 10b5-1 plan, the transactions appear routine rather than opportunistic. Nevertheless, investors may note the modest decrease in insider ownership by a key executive.

Positive

• CFO retains a substantial 130,548-share stake, maintaining alignment with shareholders.
• Majority of sales were tax-withholding and executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, reflecting governance best practices and reducing perception of opportunistic selling.

Negative

• Insider sales totalling 8,837 shares (≈6.3 % of prior holdings) may be viewed cautiously by some investors despite routine explanations.

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR CFO sold 6.3 % of holdings (~$80k); sales largely routine (tax & 10b5-1), limited signal for fundamentals.

Detail: The aggregate proceeds of roughly $80k are immaterial relative to both the CFO’s remaining stake and Arteris’ market capitalisation. Three-quarters of the shares disposed were explicitly for RSU tax-withholding, a common administrative action. The remaining 4,948 shares were sold under a disclosed 10b5-1 plan, signalling pre-commitment and mitigating concerns about information asymmetry. From a valuation perspective, the event does not alter cash flow, capital structure, or strategic outlook; therefore, impact to the investment thesis is minimal.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR Insider sales flagged, but pre-planned and small; governance risk low.

Routine tax-related sell-to-cover transactions are standard practice and transparent. The use of a 10b5-1 plan for the 07/07 sale aligns with best-practice governance, reducing litigation and perception risk. Hawkins retains a sizeable stake, maintaining alignment with shareholder interests. No red flags regarding undisclosed derivative positions or unusual timing are evident.
