Equity Compensation Analyst

Routine officer stock option grant with time-based vesting.

CervoMed granted Chief Commercial and Business Officer Matthew Winton stock options for 30,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.8 per share. The filing classifies this as an acquisition under a grant or award, not an open-market purchase.

The options vest in 36 monthly installments starting on February 28, 2026, creating a three-year incentive period that aligns continued service with potential equity upside. All 30,000 options are reported as held directly after the transaction, indicating a straightforward, single-holder grant.

This appears to be standard executive equity compensation. Its real impact depends on CervoMed’s future share performance and Winton’s tenure, which will determine the ultimate value realized from the award.
