On March 2, 2026, the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting the receipt of 210,043 shares of the Issuer's common stock, on a pre-reverse stock split basis, as a one-time bonus grant for services as an executive officer for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Original Form 4").

5 terms

Form 4 regulatory

"the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting the receipt of 210,043 shares"

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

reverse stock split financial

"adjusted for the 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by the Issuer on March 16, 2026"

A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.

tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition","transaction_code_description""

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

one-time bonus grant financial

"as a one-time bonus grant for services as an executive officer"

beneficially owned financial

"to correct ... the number of securities beneficially owned following such transactions"

Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

FAQ

What insider transactions did ClearSign (CLIR) report for its CEO on February 26, 2026?

ClearSign CEO Colin James Deller received 7,001 common shares as a one-time bonus grant on February 26, 2026. To cover taxes, 3,501 shares were withheld, leaving him with 34,967 shares directly owned after these compensation-related transactions.

Was the ClearSign (CLIR) CEO’s Form 4/A transaction an open-market buy or sell?

The filing shows no open-market buying or selling. Instead, the CEO received 7,001 shares as a stock bonus and 3,501 shares were disposed of solely through tax withholding, a non-market mechanism to satisfy tax obligations on the equity award.

Why did ClearSign (CLIR) file an amended Form 4/A for its CEO’s bonus shares?

The amendment corrects the originally reported number of bonus shares, the shares withheld for taxes, and the CEO’s beneficial ownership after the grant. It updates a prior Form 4 that had reported a larger, pre-reverse-split bonus share figure for 2025 services.

How many ClearSign (CLIR) shares does the CEO hold after this Form 4/A amendment?

Following the corrected bonus grant and related tax withholding, CEO Colin James Deller directly owns 34,967 shares of ClearSign common stock. This figure reflects adjustments for the company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective March 16, 2026.

What role did tax withholding play in the ClearSign (CLIR) CEO’s Form 4/A?

The Form 4/A shows 3,501 shares were used for tax-withholding, classified as a tax-withholding disposition at $5.616 per share. This mechanism settles tax liabilities on the stock bonus without the CEO executing an actual sale in the open market.

How did ClearSign’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split affect the CEO’s reported bonus shares?

All share and price figures in the amendment are adjusted for ClearSign’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split on March 16, 2026. A previously reported 210,043-share bonus, on a pre-split basis, is now reflected in smaller, post-split share counts and prices.
