Insights
COO receives equity and options via merger-related conversions, a routine compensation event with no sales.
Chief Operating Officer Madhuri Kommareddi received Common Stock and multiple stock option grants when Legacy Teamshares equity converted into Live Oak Acquisition Corp. V securities under the Merger Agreement. All transactions are coded as awards rather than open-market purchases or sales.
The filing shows 13,587 Common shares and option packages over more than 225,000 shares at exercise prices from $0.76 to $7.01, with expirations between 2031 and 2033. One grant is fully vested and another vests over 36 months, indicating long-term incentive alignment tied to ongoing service.
No shares were sold, and there are no derivative exercises or tax-withholding dispositions. This points to a structural transition in her equity position after the business combination, rather than a directional bet on the stock in the open market.
