[8-K] East-West Bancorp Inc Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Codexis, Inc. (CDXS) Form 4: 10% owner Opaleye Management Inc. reported an open-market purchase of 100,000 common shares on 07/18/2025 at $2.82 per share (≈ $282k). After the transaction, Opaleye now indirectly controls 12,450,000 shares through Opaleye L.P. and 250,000 shares through a separately managed account, totaling ≈ 12.7 million shares. No derivative positions were disclosed. Opaleye disclaims beneficial ownership beyond its pecuniary interest. As a Schedule 13D filer and 10% holder, continued accumulation can signal confidence and tighten the public float, although the added position represents <1 % of its existing stake.

Positive

• Insider accumulation: A 10% owner added 100,000 shares in the open market, often viewed as a vote of confidence.
• Stake increase: Total indirect holdings rise to ≈ 12.7 million shares, tightening float and aligning insider with shareholder value.

Negative

• Scale of purchase is small: The 100k-share buy raises the position by less than 1 %, so informational impact may be limited.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: 10% owner bought 100k CDXS shares at $2.82, nudging stake to 12.7 M; small addition but positive insider signal.

Opaleye’s purchase increases its indirect ownership by roughly 0.8 %, bringing its total to about 12.7 million shares. While the dollar value is modest relative to its holding, insider buying—especially by a large shareholder—tends to be interpreted favorably because the investor is committing fresh capital at prevailing market prices. No dispositions or derivative exercises were reported, indicating a straightforward cash purchase. The filing is impactful mainly as a sentiment indicator; it does not alter Codexis’s fundamentals or capital structure but may support near-term share demand and investor confidence.
