[Form 4] Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. Insider Trading Activity
Form 4 filing – Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (CGTX) – 18 June 2025
This Form 4 reports an insider equity award to director and 10% owner Leslie W. Kreis, Jr. and a group of affiliated Bios-branded investment entities. The key disclosed transaction is the grant of 34,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 18 June 2025 (Transaction Code “A”). The RSUs carry an acquisition price of $0.00 and will vest in full on the earlier of 18 June 2026 or the company’s next annual shareholder meeting, provided that fellow director Dr. Aaron G. L. Fletcher remains in service through the vesting date.
Immediately after the grant, the reporting group shows the following indirect holdings of CGTX common shares:
- 48,500 shares held via BP Directors, LP (includes the newly granted RSUs)
- 500,095 shares – Bios Clinical Opportunity Fund, LP
- 326,733 shares – Bios Fund III NT, LP
- 2,021,906 shares – Bios Fund III QP, LP
- 309,748 shares – Bios Fund III, LP
- 1,424,014 shares – Bios Memory SPV I, LP
- 418,926 shares – Bios Fund I, LP
- 245,029 shares – Bios Fund I QP, LP
- 78,298 shares – Bios Fund II, LP
- 255,765 shares – Bios Fund II QP, LP
- 34,238 shares – Bios Fund II NT, LP
- 385,248 shares – Bios Memory SPV II, LP
The filing clarifies, via footnotes, that Dr. Fletcher holds the RSUs as nominee for BP Directors, LP and that multiple Bios and Cavu entities share indirect ownership through layered general-partner structures. No open-market purchases or sales are reported; therefore, no cash changed hands and no proceeds were realized. The disclosure is routine, serves to update beneficial-ownership records, and does not alter corporate control.

Insights
TL;DR: Director receives 34k RSUs; no shares sold, total indirect holdings restated; impact immaterial.
The grant increases the reporting group’s potential share count by a modest 34,000 but comes at zero cost and vests over roughly one year. Because it is a routine director compensation award rather than an open-market buy, the transaction does not signal incremental conviction on the stock. The wider Bios complex already controls several million CGTX shares, so dilution from the additional RSUs is negligible. From a trading perspective, I view the filing as neutral: it neither tightens float materially nor indicates selling pressure.
TL;DR: Standard equity-comp update; confirms alignment, preserves existing ownership hierarchy.
The filing highlights appropriate disclosure of a director compensation grant and reaffirms complex but transparent ownership chains among Bios and Cavu entities. Vesting is service-based, aligning board and shareholder interests without immediate dilution. No changes occur in board composition or control thresholds. Governance practices appear compliant; however, the intricate web of related funds may warrant continued monitoring for potential conflicts. Overall governance impact is neutral.
