Corporate governance and insider transactions analyst

CEO receives preferred stock award convertible into 4,065,000 common shares.

The filing shows that Oncotelic’s Chairman and CEO, Vuong Trieu, received 4,065 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on 11/17/2025. These are equity-based compensation, awarded upon accomplishment of performance milestones under a Restricted Stock Agreement dated November 17, 2025. The shares are held directly by Dr. Trieu.

Each preferred share converts into common stock on a one-for-one thousand basis, implying 4,065,000 underlying common shares if fully converted. The conversion is at the option of the holder and the stated exercise price of the derivative security is $0.00, which means no additional cash would be paid to the company upon conversion.

This structure compensates management with potentially significant equity exposure rather than cash. Any impact on existing shareholders would occur if and when the preferred stock is converted into common shares, but the timing and extent of such conversions are not detailed in the excerpt.
