Equity compensation and insider-transactions analyst

Routine option exercise adds 37,000 Apyx shares to SVP’s direct holdings.

The filing shows Senior Vice President Moshe Citronowicz exercised a stock option granted on March 16, 2016 to purchase 37,000 Apyx Medical common shares at $1.80 per share. This is coded as an exercise or conversion of derivative security, not an open-market purchase.
