Forian (FORA) director exits stake in $2.17-per-share cash tender
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Forian Inc. director Jennifer Hajj reported the disposal of common stock and stock options in connection with a cash tender offer and merger. She reported 5,000 shares of common stock held indirectly by her spouse and 5,000 shares held directly, all disposed of pursuant to a tender offer.
Footnotes state that shareholders received $2.17 per share in cash in the offer, after which a merger made Forian a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiring parent.

Insights
Director’s equity is cashed out or cancelled as part of a change-of-control deal.
This Form 4 reflects mechanical outcomes of Forian’s cash tender offer and subsequent merger, not open-market trading. Common shares held directly and via spouse were tendered, with cash paid at $2.17 per share to participating holders under the merger agreement.
Stock options were treated according to standard change-of-control terms: vested awards below the offer price convert into cash based on the spread, while unvested or higher-priced options are cancelled without payment. With total_shares_following_transaction at zero for all reported lines and no remaining derivative positions shown, the director’s visible equity stake in Forian is effectively eliminated in this filing.

- Pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated April 2, 2026, by and between Forian Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"), 2025 Acquisition Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), and Bravo Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), on May 15, 2026, Parent and Merger Sub completed a tender offer for the shares of the Issuer's common stock (the "Shares"). In exchange for each Share, tendering shareholders received $2.17 per Share (the "Offer Price"), payable in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes. On May 15, 2026, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

At the Effective Time, each stock option that was either (i) unvested or (ii) that had a per share exercise price per Share that was equal to or more than the Offer Price that was then outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled without any consideration payable therefor.
