[Form 4/A] ORMAT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Amended Insider Trading Activity
David Granot, a director of Ormat Technologies (ORA), exercised 1,210 Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) on 08/21/2025. Upon exercise he delivered 1,011 shares back to the issuer to cover the exercise price and sold the remaining 199 shares in the open market the same day. The Form 4/A amends a prior Form 4 filed 08/25/2025 to correct an administrative error: the previously reported post-transaction beneficial ownership amounts were overstated by 838 shares and have been reduced accordingly. The SARs exercised had a grant price of $76.87 and expire on 11/06/2025.
- Exercise and sale disclosed: The reporting person exercised SARs and disclosed both the shares surrendered to the issuer and those sold in the open market.
- Amendment improves accuracy: The Form 4/A corrects an administrative error by reducing previously reported beneficial ownership by 838 shares, increasing disclosure accuracy.
- Prior overstatement: The original Form 4 overstated beneficial ownership by 838 shares, indicating an administrative reporting error that required correction.
Insights
TL;DR: Director exercised SARs and sold a portion; amendment fixes an administrative overstatement of holdings.
The exercise of 1,210 SARs with 1,011 shares surrendered to the issuer to cover the exercise cost and 199 shares sold in the open market is a routine liquidity and tax-related insider action rather than a strategic corporate event. The amendment reducing previously reported beneficial ownership by 838 shares appears administrative and does not create new economic exposure. The transactions are modest relative to typical outstanding share counts for public companies and do not by themselves indicate a change in company fundamentals.
TL;DR: Disclosure corrected promptly; the filing shows standard insider exercise and sale to cover costs.
The filing shows compliance with Section 16 reporting through an amended Form 4. Correcting an overstatement in prior reporting is important for transparency; the amendment clarifies beneficial ownership but reflects an administrative error rather than substantive governance change. The signature by an attorney-in-fact on 09/22/2025 finalizes the amendment filing.
