Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Data Storage Corp director and 10% owner Harold J. Schwartz reported significant share sales and ownership corrections. On January 14, 2026, he disposed of 888,376 shares of common stock at $5.20 per share in a sale to the company under an issuer tender offer exempt under Rule 16b-3, leaving him with 28,471 shares held directly.

On the same date, 7,500 shares of common stock were disposed of at $5.20 per share by Systems Trading, Inc., an entity owned by Schwartz, which then held no shares. The filing also corrects prior reports: earlier forms had overstated his beneficial ownership by 20,735 shares and had omitted the 7,500 shares indirectly held through Systems Trading, Inc.
