• No shares sold, avoiding near-term selling pressure and indicating confidence/alignment with shareholders

Negative

• None.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine RSU grant; minor insider ownership increase, neutral market impact.

The 61.6 k share RSU grant to director Alec Gores is standard board compensation. Post-grant ownership is roughly 411 k shares, a very small fraction of Luminar’s outstanding float, so dilution is immaterial. No shares were sold, which removes immediate selling pressure, but the award vests within a year, meaning potential supply could reach the market in 2026. Overall, the filing signals continued director alignment yet is unlikely to move the stock.
