Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Krystal Biotech (KRYS) President of R&D, Director and 10% owner Suma M. Krishnan filed a Form 4 disclosing modest open-market sales executed on 9–10 July 2025 under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 12 Sep 2024.

  • Shares sold (reporting person): 7,000 common shares at weighted-average prices of $150.14–$151.39.
  • Shares sold (spouse): 7,127 shares at $150.07–$151.39 under a separate 10b5-1 plan.
  • Total shares disposed: 14,127, representing roughly 0.5% of their combined holdings.
  • Remaining ownership: 1,456,711 shares directly; 90,000 via SMK Trust; 50,000 via Krishnan Family Trust; spouse retains 1,525,929 shares.

The transactions slightly reduce insider exposure yet leave the couple with an aggregate stake of about 3.1 million shares, signalling continuing alignment with shareholders. Because the sales were pre-scheduled, they carry limited information about the company’s near-term outlook.

La Presidente della Ricerca e Sviluppo di Krystal Biotech (KRYS), nonché Direttrice e proprietaria del 10% Suma M. Krishnan, ha presentato un Modulo 4 che rende noto la vendita sul mercato aperto di un numero modesto di azioni, effettuata tra il 9 e il 10 luglio 2025, nell'ambito di un piano di trading Rule 10b5-1 adottato il 12 settembre 2024.

  • Azioni vendute (persona segnalante): 7.000 azioni ordinarie a prezzi medi ponderati tra $150,14 e $151,39.
  • Azioni vendute (coniuge): 7.127 azioni a prezzi compresi tra $150,07 e $151,39 secondo un piano 10b5-1 separato.
  • Totale azioni cedute: 14.127, pari a circa lo 0,5% delle loro partecipazioni combinate.
  • Partecipazione residua: 1.456.711 azioni detenute direttamente; 90.000 tramite lo SMK Trust; 50.000 tramite il Krishnan Family Trust; il coniuge mantiene 1.525.929 azioni.

Le operazioni riducono leggermente l’esposizione degli insider, lasciando comunque alla coppia una quota complessiva di circa 3,1 milioni di azioni, a indicare un continuo allineamento con gli azionisti. Poiché le vendite erano programmate in anticipo, forniscono informazioni limitate sulle prospettive a breve termine dell’azienda.

Krystal Biotech(KRYS)의 연구개발 총괄이자 이사, 10% 지분 보유자인 수마 M. 크리슈난이 2025년 7월 9일부터 10일까지 시행된 소규모 공개시장 매도 내역을 2024년 9월 12일 채택된 Rule 10b5-1 거래 계획에 따라 Form 4로 신고했습니다.

  • 판매한 주식 (신고자): 가중 평균 가격 $150.14~$151.39에 7,000 보통주.
  • 판매한 주식 (배우자): 별도의 10b5-1 계획에 따라 $150.07~$151.39 가격으로 7,127주.
  • 총 매도 주식 수: 14,127주로 두 사람 보유 지분의 약 0.5%에 해당.
  • 잔여 지분: 직접 보유 1,456,711주; SMK 트러스트 90,000주; Krishnan 가족 트러스트 50,000주; 배우자는 1,525,929주 보유.

Suma M. Krishnan, présidente de la R&D, directrice et détentrice de 10 % de Krystal Biotech (KRYS), a déposé un formulaire 4 révélant des ventes modestes sur le marché libre effectuées les 9 et 10 juillet 2025 dans le cadre d’un plan de trading Rule 10b5-1 adopté le 12 septembre 2024.

  • Actions vendues (personne déclarant) : 7 000 actions ordinaires à des prix moyens pondérés de 150,14 $ à 151,39 $.
  • Actions vendues (conjoint) : 7 127 actions à des prix de 150,07 $ à 151,39 $ selon un plan 10b5-1 distinct.
  • Total des actions cédées : 14 127, soit environ 0,5 % de leurs avoirs combinés.
  • Participation restante : 1 456 711 actions détenues directement ; 90 000 via le SMK Trust ; 50 000 via le Krishnan Family Trust ; le conjoint conserve 1 525 929 actions.

Ces transactions réduisent légèrement l’exposition des initiés mais laissent au couple une participation totale d’environ 3,1 millions d’actions, ce qui témoigne d’un alignement continu avec les actionnaires. Comme les ventes étaient programmées à l’avance, elles apportent peu d’informations sur les perspectives à court terme de la société.

Suma M. Krishnan, Präsidentin der Forschung & Entwicklung, Direktorin und 10%-Eigentümerin von Krystal Biotech (KRYS), reichte ein Formular 4 ein, in dem bescheidene Verkäufe am freien Markt am 9. und 10. Juli 2025 gemäß einem am 12. September 2024 angenommenen Rule 10b5-1 Handelsplan offengelegt wurden.

  • Verkaufte Aktien (meldende Person): 7.000 Stammaktien zu gewichteten Durchschnittspreisen von $150,14 bis $151,39.
  • Verkaufte Aktien (Ehepartner): 7.127 Aktien zu Preisen zwischen $150,07 und $151,39 unter einem separaten 10b5-1 Plan.
  • Insgesamt veräußerte Aktien: 14.127, was etwa 0,5 % ihres gemeinsamen Bestands entspricht.
  • Verbleibende Beteiligung: 1.456.711 Aktien direkt; 90.000 über den SMK Trust; 50.000 über den Krishnan Family Trust; der Ehepartner hält 1.525.929 Aktien.

Die Transaktionen verringern die Insider-Beteiligung leicht, belassen das Paar jedoch mit einer Gesamtbeteiligung von rund 3,1 Millionen Aktien, was auf eine weiterhin bestehende Ausrichtung mit den Aktionären hinweist. Da die Verkäufe vorab geplant waren, liefern sie nur begrenzte Informationen über die kurzfristigen Aussichten des Unternehmens.

Positive
  • Insiders retain a substantial stake (~3.1 million shares), indicating continued commitment to the company.
  • Sales executed under pre-existing Rule 10b5-1 plans, reducing concerns about opportunistic timing.
Negative
  • Key executive and 10% owner sold 7,000 shares, which some investors may perceive as a bearish signal.
  • Spouse sold an additional 7,127 shares, adding to aggregate insider supply during the period.

Insights

TL;DR insider sales modest, pre-planned; neutral impact.

The Form 4 shows minor divestments (~0.5% of the insiders’ combined stake) by a key executive at approximately $150 per share. Conducted under long-standing 10b5-1 plans, the trades appear routine rather than opportunistic. The insiders still control more than 3 million shares, maintaining strong economic alignment. While any insider selling can pressure sentiment, the limited size and pre-arranged nature make the disclosure broadly neutral for valuation.
