[Form 4] Vicarious Surgical Inc. Insider Trading Activity
Vicarious Surgical Inc. (RBOT) – Form 4 insider transaction
The filing discloses that Adam David Sachs, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Director and >10% shareholder, executed a single sale of Class A common stock on 06/23/2025. A total of 279 shares were sold at a weighted-average price of $7.7996 per share. The transaction was carried out specifically to satisfy tax-withholding obligations arising from the vesting of restricted stock units granted on 11/23/2021.
Following the disposition, Sachs’ direct beneficial ownership stands at 50,444 Class A shares. No derivative security activity was reported in Table II. The filing states that the price represents an average of multiple trades executed between $7.62 and $7.90; full trade-level detail is available to the SEC or shareholders upon request.
Key contextual points for investors:
- The sale represents less than 1% of Sachs’ reported holdings, indicating a de-minimis impact on his ownership stake.
- The transaction is classified under code “S” (open-market sale) but is explicitly tied to tax withholding and therefore does not necessarily signal a change in sentiment.
- No other transactions, option exercises, or new awards were reported in the filing period.
Overall, the Form 4 reflects a routine administrative sale rather than a strategic reduction, and it is unlikely to materially affect the company’s governance or shareholder structure.
- None.
- CEO insider sale, albeit small, may be perceived negatively by some investors even though it is tax-related
Insights
TL;DR: Small CEO sale (279 shares) for tax purposes; minimal ownership change, neutral signal.
The 279-share sale equals roughly $2.2 k in proceeds and reduces Sachs’ stake to 50,444 shares, an immaterial adjustment relative to his existing position and RBOT’s 126 million share float. Because the disposition addresses tax withholding linked to RSU vesting, it lacks the informational value typically associated with discretionary insider selling. I view the filing as non-impactful to valuation or liquidity. Investors should monitor cumulative insider activity but treat this isolated event as routine.
TL;DR: Governance perspective—administrative sale, no concern over alignment.
The Form 4 notes Sachs remains a 10% owner, director and CEO even after the sale, keeping strong alignment with minority shareholders. The transaction follows Rule 10b5-1 safeguards, limiting governance risk. No red flags regarding intent or undisclosed derivatives emerge. Therefore, the disclosure is neutral for governance assessments.
