Routine 10b5‑1 sales and tax withholding with sizable stake retained.

Head of Rare Disease Christopher Mutz sold a total of 5,723 shares of ANI PHARMACEUTICALS common stock in two open‑market transactions around $74 per share. A further 3,314 shares were disposed of to satisfy taxes on vesting restricted stock.

The filing notes these sales were made under a pre‑arranged Rule 10b5‑1 trading plan adopted on June 16, 2025, which indicates they were scheduled in advance rather than timed discretionarily. No derivative exercises are reported, and no remaining option positions are shown.

After these moves, Mutz directly holds 94,471 shares, suggesting the net share reduction is modest relative to his remaining position. The transactions appear to be routine liquidity and tax‑management events rather than a major change in equity exposure.
