Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Personalis, Inc. director Kenneth J. Widder reported equity awards consisting of restricted stock units and stock options. He was granted 6,250 shares of Common Stock, represented by RSUs that each convert into one share upon settlement, and now holds 6,250 common shares directly after this award.

He also received a stock option for 37,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.04 per share, expiring on May 12, 2036. For both the RSUs and the option, 100% of the shares vest on the earlier of one year from the grant date or the day prior to the next annual stockholders’ meeting, subject to his continuous service. In the event of a Change in Control as defined in the company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the awards vest in full immediately before that transaction becomes effective.

Insights

Routine director equity awards; compensation, not open-market buying.

Director Kenneth J. Widder received 6,250 RSUs and a 37,500-share stock option at $6.04 per share, expiring in 2036. These are compensation grants under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, with no cash changing hands at grant.

Both awards use cliff vesting, with 100% vesting after roughly one year or before the next annual meeting, contingent on continued board service. A defined Change in Control accelerates vesting, aligning director incentives with corporate control events.

Because there are no open-market purchases or sales and the size is modest relative to typical equity plans, this filing is best viewed as standard non-employee director compensation rather than a signal about the director’s view on the stock.

A "change in control" occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a merger, acquisition, or sale of a large part of its assets. This change can impact how the company is run and may influence its future direction. For investors, it matters because it can affect the company's stability, strategy, and value, often signaling potential changes in investment risk or opportunity.

A stock option is a contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a company's stock at a specific price within a certain time frame. People use them to potentially make money if the stock's price moves favorably or to protect against losses. It's like holding a coupon that can be used to buy or sell stock at a set price later on.

Widder’s stock option covers 37,500 Personalis common shares at an exercise price of $6.04 per share and expires on May 12, 2036. All option shares vest on the same one-year or pre–annual meeting schedule, with full acceleration immediately before a qualifying Change in Control event.

Is Kenneth J. Widder’s Form 4 for Personalis (PSNL) a stock purchase or a grant?

The Form 4 reflects equity grants, not open-market purchases. Widder acquired 6,250 RSUs and a 37,500-share stock option as compensation, both reported under code A for awards, with no cash purchase of Personalis shares on the market disclosed in this filing.
