Insights
TL;DR The insider was cashed out under a $10.25-per-share merger; equity awards and vested options were converted to cash.
The Form 4 documents a corporate change of control that resulted in a full cash-out of outstanding common shares and vested equity awards. The reporting person recognized the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units immediately before the Effective Time, which were converted into Class A shares and then cancelled for cash at $10.25 per share. Several vested stock options with exercise prices below the merger price were likewise cancelled and converted into cash Option Payments. For investors, this is a liquidity event that finalizes insider equity positions and settles option exposures via contractual cash payments specified by the Merger Agreement.
TL;DR The filing reflects routine Section 16 reporting around a merger-caused equity cancellation and cash-out of insider awards.
The disclosures are consistent with standard merger mechanics: a board-determined PSU payout immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatic conversion/cancellation of outstanding shares, and cash settlement of vested, in-the-money options as defined by the Merger Agreement. The Form 4 properly identifies the relationship of the reporting person, details the number of shares and options affected, and references the contractual merger terms including the per-share Merger Consideration of $10.25. No non-standard governance events or unexplained related-party transactions are disclosed in this filing.

- This Form 4 reports transactions in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated July 3, 2025, by and among the Issuer, Olo Parent, Inc. (f/k/a Project Hospitality Parent, LLC), a Delaware corporation ("Parent") and Project Hospitality Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). On September 12, 2025 (the "Effective Time"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Represents shares underlying outstanding performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") previously granted to the Reporting Person of which all fully vested as of the Effective Time. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such PSUs was determined in good faith by the Company Board as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by deeming the performance metrics of such Company PSUs achieved at actual levels of performance effective as of the Effective Time. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $10.25 in cash ("Merger Consideration"), without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding stock option to purchase shares of Issuer Common Stock ("In-the-Money Company Stock Option"), that was vested, outstanding and exercisable as of the date of the Merger Agreement and had a per share exercise price that was less than the Merger Consideration was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive solely an amount in cash (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Company Stock Option and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Issuer Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Option Payments"). The holder of any canceled In-the-Money Company Stock Option was only entitled to receive the Option Payment in respect of such canceled In-the-Money Company Stock Option.
