[Form 4] Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (CGTX) Form 4: Chief Financial Officer John Brendan Doyle reported the vesting of performance stock units (PSUs) on 29 Jul 2025. The vesting delivered 30,000 common shares at no cost to the executive after the company met predetermined performance goals. To satisfy payroll-tax withholding, 9,360 shares were automatically withheld by the issuer at an implied price of $0.6702. After these transactions, Doyle’s direct beneficial ownership stands at 425,350 common shares.

The filing signals that 50% of the PSU grant awarded on 14 Feb 2024 has vested, suggesting milestone achievement and continued executive equity alignment. No open-market sales occurred; the share reduction was strictly for tax purposes, leaving Doyle with a net increase of 20,640 shares.

Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

TL;DR: Performance goals met; CFO nets ~20.6k shares, ownership rises to 425k—immaterial but directionally positive.

The vesting of 50% of Doyle’s February 2024 PSU grant indicates CGTX hit at least one key performance hurdle. Because PSUs are earned only on goal attainment, this suggests operational progress. The automatic withholding of 9,360 shares is a routine cash-less tax settlement, not a discretionary sale, so there is no negative signal. Doyle’s post-transaction stake (~425k shares) meaningfully aligns his incentives with shareholders. However, with CGTX’s average daily volume and share count, a net addition of 20k shares is immaterial to float or valuation; thus the market impact should be negligible.
