Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Form 4 insider transaction

Director Brian D. Connolly reported a single transaction dated July 1 2025 coded “M,” indicating the exercise of previously granted equity awards. Connolly acquired 25,671 common shares at a stated price of $0.00 per share, suggesting a cost-free option or restricted-stock conversion. Following the exercise, his directly held stake increased to 218,784 shares.

No shares were sold and no derivative positions remain disclosed in Table II, implying the move strictly augments Connolly’s long equity exposure. Insiders converting options without an immediate sale can be viewed as a moderate vote of confidence, although such exercises may also be linked to award expiration schedules.

Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Transazione interna Modulo 4

Il direttore Brian D. Connolly ha comunicato una singola operazione datata 1 luglio 2025 contrassegnata con il codice “M,” che indica il esercizio di premi azionari precedentemente assegnati. Connolly ha acquisito 25.671 azioni ordinarie a un prezzo indicato di $0,00 per azione, suggerendo un'opzione senza costi o una conversione di azioni vincolate. Dopo l'esercizio, la sua quota detenuta direttamente è aumentata a 218.784 azioni.

Non sono state vendute azioni e non risultano posizioni derivate indicate nella Tabella II, il che implica che l'operazione aumenta esclusivamente l'esposizione azionaria diretta di Connolly. La conversione di opzioni da parte degli insider senza una vendita immediata può essere interpretata come un moderato segnale di fiducia, anche se tali esercizi possono essere legati ai termini di scadenza dei premi.

Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Transacción interna Formulario 4

El director Brian D. Connolly reportó una única transacción fechada el 1 de julio de 2025 codificada como “M,” que indica el ejercicio de premios de acciones previamente otorgados. Connolly adquirió 25,671 acciones comunes a un precio declarado de $0.00 por acción, lo que sugiere una opción sin costo o conversión de acciones restringidas. Tras el ejercicio, su participación directa aumentó a 218,784 acciones.

No se vendieron acciones ni se revelaron posiciones derivadas en la Tabla II, lo que implica que esta acción solo incrementa la exposición directa de Connolly en acciones. Los insiders que convierten opciones sin una venta inmediata pueden considerarse como una señal moderada de confianza, aunque estos ejercicios también pueden estar vinculados a los plazos de vencimiento de los premios.

Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Form 4 내부자 거래

이사 Brian D. Connolly2025년 7월 1일자로 “M” 코드가 표시된 단일 거래를 보고했으며, 이는 기존에 부여된 주식 보상권 행사를 의미합니다. Connolly는 주당 $0.00의 명시된 가격으로 25,671 보통주를 취득했으며, 이는 비용이 없는 옵션 또는 제한 주식 전환을 시사합니다. 행사 후 그의 직접 보유 지분은 218,784주로 증가했습니다.

주식 매도는 없었고 표 II에 파생상품 포지션도 공개되지 않아, 이번 거래가 Connolly의 장기 주식 보유만을 증가시켰음을 의미합니다. 내부자가 즉시 매도 없이 옵션을 행사하는 것은 다소 긍정적인 신뢰의 표시로 볼 수 있으나, 이러한 행사는 보상권 만료 일정과도 관련될 수 있습니다.

Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Transaction d’initié Formulaire 4

Le directeur Brian D. Connolly a déclaré une transaction unique datée du 1er juillet 2025 codée “M,” indiquant l’exercice de primes d’actions précédemment accordées.

Après l’exercice, sa participation détenue directement est passée à 218 784 actions.

Aucune action n’a été vendue et aucune position dérivée n’est divulguée dans le tableau II, ce qui implique que cette opération augmente strictement l’exposition directe de Connolly aux actions. Les initiés qui convertissent des options sans vente immédiate peuvent être perçus comme un signe modéré de confiance, bien que ces exercices puissent également être liés aux échéances des primes.

Aware, Inc. (AWRE) – Insider-Transaktion Formular 4

Direktor Brian D. Connolly meldete eine einzelne Transaktion vom 1. Juli 2025, codiert mit “M,” was auf die Ausübung zuvor gewährter Aktienoptionen hinweist. Connolly erwarb 25.671 Stammaktien zu einem angegebenen Preis von pro Aktie, was auf eine kostenfreie Option oder eine Umwandlung von eingeschränkten Aktien hindeutet. Nach der Ausübung erhöhte sich sein direkt gehaltener Anteil auf 218.784 Aktien.

Es wurden keine Aktien verkauft und keine Derivatpositionen in Tabelle II offengelegt, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Transaktion ausschließlich Connollys langfristige Aktienposition erhöht. Insider, die Optionen ohne sofortigen Verkauf ausüben, können als moderates Vertrauenssignal gewertet werden, obwohl solche Ausübungen auch mit Ablaufplänen der Auszeichnungen zusammenhängen können.

Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR: Director boosted direct ownership by 25.6k shares via option exercise; no sales, modestly positive signal.

The Form 4 shows Connolly exercised awards for 25,671 AWRE shares and retained the entire allotment, lifting his direct holding to 218,784 shares. The “M” code means the shares stem from option conversion rather than open-market purchase, so cash outlay is typically minimal. However, the absence of a concurrent sale removes near-term supply and can be interpreted as insider confidence. Position size (~11.7% increase vs. pre-transaction level) is not large enough to materially alter ownership structure or signal fundamental change, but it is directionally positive. Overall impact on valuation is limited yet favorable.
