FAQ

What insider transaction did SERA's CFO report in this Form 4?

Sera Prognostics CFO Austin Aerts reported selling 674 shares of Class A common stock. The shares were sold solely to cover tax withholding obligations from vesting RSUs, rather than as a discretionary open-market sale.

At what price did SERA's CFO sell shares in the reported transaction?

The reported weighted average sale price was $1.96 per share. The block trade included multiple transactions at prices ranging from $1.87 to $2.03, as disclosed, reflecting normal execution around that average level.

How many SERA shares does the CFO hold after this Form 4 transaction?

After the tax-related sale, CFO Austin Aerts directly holds 271,540 shares of Sera Prognostics Class A common stock. This shows the 674 shares sold represent a very small portion of his overall reported holdings.

Was the SERA CFO’s Form 4 sale a discretionary open-market trade?

No. Footnotes state the 674 shares were sold to cover tax withholding from vesting RSUs. The issuer requires these “sell to cover” transactions, so the sale does not represent a discretionary trading decision by the CFO.

What is the main purpose of the SERA CFO’s share sale reported on March 9, 2026?

The purpose was to satisfy tax withholding obligations triggered by vesting restricted stock units. The company mandates funding these obligations through mandated sell-to-cover transactions, making this a routine administrative disposition rather than a strategic sale.
