FAQ

What insider transaction did EPRT CEO Peter M. Mavoides report?

Peter M. Mavoides reported a bona fide gift of 30,098 shares of Essential Properties Realty Trust Common Stock. The transaction carried a reported per-share price of $0.00, indicating it was a non-market, non-cash transfer rather than an open-market sale or purchase.

How many EPRT shares does the CEO hold after the reported gift?

After the gift, Peter M. Mavoides directly owns 337,501 shares of Essential Properties Realty Trust Common Stock. The filing also lists additional indirect holdings through revocable trusts, giving him continued substantial exposure to the company’s equity following the non-cash transfer.

Was the EPRT CEO’s March 24, 2026 transaction an open-market sale?

No, the March 24, 2026 transaction was reported as a G code bona fide gift, with a per-share price of $0.00. This indicates a non-market transfer, not a sale into the open market, so it does not represent selling pressure on the stock.

What does Rule 16a-13 mean for the EPRT share transfers between accounts?

A footnote explains that 132,959 shares were transferred from a joint account to each of two revocable trusts under Rule 16a-13. This rule allows certain internal transfers to be exempt from Section 16 reporting as traditional purchases or sales, reflecting structural ownership changes.

How are the EPRT CEO’s indirect holdings structured after the filing?

Indirect holdings are shown through the Pete Mavoides Revocable Trust and the Susan Mavoides Revocable Trust. One footnote states the CEO is sole grantor, trustee, and lifetime beneficiary of his trust, while his spouse holds equivalent roles for the separate revocable trust.

Does the EPRT Form 4 indicate any derivative securities or option exercises?

No derivative positions or option exercises appear in this Form 4. The derivativeSummary is empty and the transactionSummary shows no exercises, tax withholding, or restructuring entries, indicating the filing centers on the reported stock gift and related holding entries.
