Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Officer exercised options and immediately sold the acquired shares, realizing roughly a $6.57 per-share pre-tax spread.

The reported exercise of 61,495 options at $8.44 and same-day sales at a weighted average of $15.01 implies a gross per-share spread of $6.57 before taxes and fees. This is a routine liquidity action common when options vest or when executives follow 10b5-1 plans; the form indicates a plan/planned trade box was checked. The exercise increases reported direct share count temporarily but the immediate sale reduced direct holdings to 23,466 shares. The continuing large number of outstanding derivative securities (803,488) highlights remaining potential dilution if exercised.
