FAQ
What did Madrigal Pharmaceuticals (MDGL) CMO David Soergel acquire in this Form 4?
David Soergel received a stock option for 5,467 shares and a restricted stock unit award covering 4,374 shares of Madrigal common stock. Both grants were made on March 4, 2026 as part of his equity compensation package, with future vesting tied to continued service.
How do the restricted stock units granted to MDGL’s CMO vest over time?
The 4,374 restricted stock units vest in four equal 25% installments on March 4, 2027, March 4, 2028, March 4, 2029 and March 4, 2030. Each vesting date requires that David Soergel continues in service with Madrigal Pharmaceuticals through that specific date.
What is the vesting schedule for the 5,467 Madrigal Pharmaceuticals stock options?
The option vests 25% of the 5,467 shares on March 4, 2027, the first anniversary of grant. Thereafter, 6.25% of the shares vest on the last day of each successive three‑month period, conditioned on David Soergel remaining in service with Madrigal on each vesting date.
Is there a purchase price on the new stock options reported for MDGL’s CMO?
The stock option grant covering 5,467 Madrigal shares is reported with a transaction price of $0.00 per share. This reflects that the award was a compensatory grant, not an open‑market purchase, subject to its stated vesting schedule and service conditions.
Are the Madrigal Pharmaceuticals equity awards to the CMO subject to continued employment?
Yes. Both the restricted stock units and stock options vest only if David Soergel continues in service with Madrigal on each relevant vesting date. Missing a vesting date due to ending service would prevent unvested portions from becoming earned under the disclosed terms.
