Rhea-AI Filing Summary

White Nicole S reported acquisition or exercise transactions in this Form 4 filing.

Assembly Biosciences reported that Chief Manufacturing Officer Nicole S. White received a grant of 14,000 shares of common stock in the form of restricted stock units as part of her annual equity compensation. The RSUs were approved on March 29, 2026 and became issuable after stockholders approved an amendment to the company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan on June 4, 2026.

The RSUs vest in four approximately equal installments on March 29 of 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030, assuming she remains in continuous service. Following this grant and an administrative correction that removed 3,332 shares from prior totals, she now directly holds 48,145 shares of common stock.

Restricted stock units ("RSUs") financial
"Restricted stock units ("RSUs") representing 35% of the reporting person's annual equity grant"
Restricted stock units (RSUs) are a company promise to give an employee shares of stock (or cash equivalent) in the future, but only after certain conditions—usually staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance goals—are met. Investors watch RSUs because when they vest they increase the number of shares outstanding and can lead insiders to sell shares, affecting share price, company dilution and the true cost of employee pay.

FAQ

What insider transaction did Assembly Biosciences (ASMB) report for Nicole S. White?

Assembly Biosciences reported that Chief Manufacturing Officer Nicole S. White received 14,000 restricted stock units as part of her annual equity grant. These RSUs are a stock-based compensation award rather than a market purchase and increase her direct common stock holdings to 48,145 shares.

How do the RSUs granted to ASMB’s Chief Manufacturing Officer vest over time?

The 14,000 RSUs granted to Assembly Biosciences’ Chief Manufacturing Officer vest in four approximately equal installments. Vesting dates are March 29, 2027, March 29, 2028, March 29, 2029, and March 29, 2030, and each installment requires her to remain in continuous service.

What stockholder approval was required for Nicole S. White’s RSU grant at ASMB?

The RSU grant was contingent on stockholder approval of an amendment to Assembly Biosciences’ Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan. The amendment increased shares authorized for issuance, and the RSUs became issuable only after stockholders approved this Plan Amendment on June 4, 2026.

How many Assembly Biosciences shares does Nicole S. White hold after the Form 4 transaction?

After the RSU grant became issuable and an administrative share-count correction, Nicole S. White directly holds 48,145 shares of Assembly Biosciences common stock. The filing also notes that 3,332 fewer shares are now reflected than on her prior Forms 4 due to the correction.

Did the Assembly Biosciences Form 4 disclose any share count correction for Nicole S. White?

Yes. The Form 4 notes that 3,332 fewer shares are now shown in Column 5 compared with Nicole S. White’s prior Forms 4. This change reflects an administrative error correction and does not represent a new market transaction or sale of shares.
