Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Corcept Therapeutics director David L. Mahoney reported a series of routine equity transactions. He exercised stock options covering 30,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.86 per share, converting a derivative position into directly held shares.

To cover the exercise price through a net, cashless exercise, 5,469 shares were withheld at a value of $32.15 per share, which is a tax/payment mechanism rather than an open-market sale.

After these transactions, Mahoney reports 1,237,145 shares of Common Stock held indirectly through the family trust and an additional 46,147 shares held indirectly through The Black Dog Private Foundation. The filing shows no open-market purchases or sales of Corcept Therapeutics stock.
