Stock Option financial
"This option represents a right to purchase 11,050 of the Issuer's ordinary shares"
A stock option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. People use them to potentially make money if the stock's price moves favorably or to protect against losses. It's like holding a coupon that can be used to buy or sell stock at a set price later on.
beneficial ownership financial
"Fairmount, Mr. Harwin, and Mr. Kiselak disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein"
investment manager financial
"Fairmount Funds Management LLC ("Fairmount") is the investment manager for Fairmount Healthcare Fund II LP"

FAQ

What insider transaction did CRESCENT BIOPHARMA (CBIO) report on this Form 4?

CRESCENT BIOPHARMA reported a stock option grant for 11,050 ordinary shares. The option was awarded to Peter Harwin for investment vehicles managed by Fairmount Funds, reflecting an equity-based compensation award rather than an open-market share purchase or sale.

How and when does the new CBIO option award vest?

The option vests in full on the earlier of June 2, 2027 or the date of CRESCENT BIOPHARMA’s next annual meeting of shareholders. Vesting is conditioned on the reporting person’s continued service to the issuer through that vesting date trigger.

Who effectively benefits from the CBIO option grant reported for Fairmount entities?

Under the disclosed arrangement, Peter Harwin holds the option for one or more Fairmount-managed investment vehicles. He must turn over any net cash or stock from the option to Fairmount for the benefit of the relevant Fairmount fund, reflecting indirect, fund-related economic exposure.

Do Fairmount Funds and its managers claim full beneficial ownership of the CBIO option?

Fairmount Funds Management, Peter Harwin, and Tomas Kiselak expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest. This means they recognize only their economic stake, not full beneficial ownership of all underlying shares.
