[Form 4/A] AeroVironment, Inc. Amended Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Amended insider filing: AeroVironment (AVAV) submitted a Form 4/A for Trace E. Stevenson, President – Autonomous Systems, correcting a clerical error made in the original 27 June 2025 filing. The officer actually received 1,174 restricted stock awards (RSAs) on that date at $0 cost, not the larger amount previously reported. The RSAs vest in three equal installments on 11 July 2026, 2027 and 2028. After the correction, Stevenson’s direct beneficial ownership is 7,133 common shares rather than 8,140. No open-market purchases or sales occurred; the filing merely aligns reported holdings with the true grant size. The change is modest relative to AeroVironment’s total shares outstanding and has no direct earnings impact, but it restores disclosure accuracy and compliance with Section 16 requirements.

Positive

• Enhanced transparency: Correcting the Form 4 reinforces compliance and accuracy of insider disclosures.

Negative

• Reduced insider ownership: Stevenson’s reported stake drops by 1,007 shares, slightly lowering insider alignment perceptions.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Minor clerical fix—insider grant corrected to 1,174 RSAs; ownership now 7,133 shares, neutral market impact.

The amendment removes a 1,007-share overstatement from the original Form 4. Because the RSAs were granted (not purchased) at no cost and represent an immaterial fraction of AVAV’s float, valuation fundamentals remain unchanged. The filing simply improves transparency, which is positive for governance, but the reduced insider stake marginally weakens perceived alignment. Overall, the event is administratively important yet financially neutral.

Explanation of Responses:

1. This amendment is being filed to correct the number of RSAs granted to the Reporting Person, which was inadvertently overstated on the Reporting Person's original Form 4. The Reporting Person was granted 1,174 RSAs on June 27, 2025, to vest in 3 equal installments on each of July 11, 2026, 2027 and 2028.

2. Due to the error described above, the Reporting Person's Form 4 filed on June 27, 2025, incorrectly reported that the number of shares held by the Reporting Person was 8,140 shares of Common Stock.
