Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FARO Technologies, Inc. (FARO) – Form 4 filing (07/21/2025)

SVP & Chief Financial Officer Matthew Horwath reported the disposal of his entire direct beneficial ownership in connection with FARO’s pending merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc. Under the Merger Agreement dated 05/05/2025, every share and restricted/performance stock unit was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $44.00 in cash.

• Common shares disposed: 39,264
• Performance/Restricted Stock Units disposed: 41,018
• Post-transaction ownership: 0 shares / 0 derivative securities

The filing confirms that, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all equity held by the CFO was cash-settled at the agreed merger price, signalling completion mechanics and elimination of insider equity exposure.

Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR Insider Form 4 indicates equity cancellation and $44 cash payout, confirming mechanical close of FARO-AMETEK merger.

The transaction shows the CFO’s 80,282 total equity instruments (common and RSUs/PSUs) cancelled for $44 cash each, aligning with the Merger Agreement’s terms. Insider now holds zero shares, demonstrating full transition to AMETEK ownership. From an M&A perspective, this filing is largely procedural yet confirms that consideration is fully cash, eliminating post-close rollover equity and integration complexity. It also signals that closing conditions tied to equity treatment have been met, reducing deal-completion risk.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR CFO exits equity stake; insider alignment with future performance ceases post-merger.

Governance-wise, the Form 4 records total divestiture of management’s FARO equity due to cash-only merger. While shareholders receive liquidity, removal of insider ownership may affect post-close retention incentives; however, such concerns shift to AMETEK’s compensation structures. No irregularities noted; filing meets Section 16 obligations and provides transparency on insider cash-out.
