[Form 4] Gran Tierra Energy Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 overview – Gran Tierra Energy Inc. (GTE)

Director David P. Smith reported two same-day transactions on 07/01/2025:

• Option exercise (Code M): 2,417 common shares acquired from the exercise of employee stock options at an exercise price of $3.50 per share.
• Open-market disposition (Code D): The exact same 2,417 shares were sold at $5.01 per share.

Following the transactions, Smith’s direct ownership of common stock is 0 shares, while 26,939 stock options remain outstanding.

No other equity classes or indirect holdings are disclosed. The filing does not reference a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

Materiality assessment: The trade involves a small number of shares relative to Gran Tierra’s total float and therefore has limited impact on overall ownership structure. Nevertheless, investors often monitor director-level share sales for potential sentiment signals.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Director disposed of 2,417 shares immediately after exercise, reducing direct share ownership to zero, which some investors may interpret as a lack of long-term commitment.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Small director option exercise and same-day sale; limited corporate impact.

The Form 4 shows David P. Smith exercising 2,417 options at $3.50 and immediately liquidating the shares at $5.01. Gross proceeds total roughly $12,100. The net change in his equity exposure to common shares is zero, while his option position declines marginally to 26,939. The volume is immaterial to Gran Tierra’s market capitalization and does not alter insider ownership percentages in a meaningful way. Such paired “exercise-and-sell” transactions are often undertaken for liquidity or tax purposes rather than signaling. Overall effect: neutral.
