Bionano Genomics disclosed that director Kristiina Vuori, MD received a stock option grant for 9,149 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share, structured as equity compensation rather than an open-market share purchase.

How many Bionano Genomics (BNGO) shares are covered by Vuori's stock options?

The grant covers options on 9,149 shares of Bionano Genomics common stock. These options give her the right to buy that number of shares at $1.19 per share, subject to vesting and expiration terms defined in the company’s 2018 equity incentive plan.

What is the exercise price and expiration date of Vuori's BNGO stock options?

Is Vuori's Form 4 transaction a market purchase of BNGO shares?

No. The Form 4 reports a compensation-related stock option grant, coded as a grant or award acquisition, not an open-market share purchase. She received options to buy 9,149 shares at $1.19, which may be exercised later once vested and before expiration.
