Insights

Equity corporate actions analyst

Director stake cashed out at $20 per share in merger close.

The Form 4 records an automatic share disposition tied to MeridianLink’s merger, which closed on October 24, 2025. Each common share converted into the right to receive $20.00 cash; insider activity here reflects that mechanical conversion rather than an open-market trade.

The filing also states 11,862 unvested RSUs were cancelled and converted to a cash right based on the same per‑share consideration, subject to taxes. Post-transaction holdings are listed as zero common shares for the reporting person.

This is an administrative outcome of a completed merger; valuation and future performance implications sit with the private parent entity, not with public MLNK shares post-close.
