Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc SEC Filings

Form 4 filing for Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc. (TCRT) discloses that director Robert W. Postma received new equity awards on July 3, 2025.

• Restricted stock units (RSUs): 4,050 shares of common stock granted at $0.00 cost and vested immediately, increasing his direct holding to 33,133 shares.
• Stock options: Option to purchase 6,400 shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, expiring July 3, 2035. One-twelfth of the option vests monthly starting July 3, 2025; any remaining unvested portion fully vests just before the 2026 annual meeting.
• Indirect holdings: 62,416 shares held through WaterMill Asset Management Corp. and 24 shares in a spouse’s IRA.

The transactions are incentive-based grants rather than market purchases or sales, so they do not immediately affect public float or cash flows. However, they modestly increase insider ownership and further align the director’s interests with shareholders.

Form 4 highlights: Director Jaime Vieser received new equity awards from Alaunos Therapeutics (TCRT) on 07/03/2025.

• Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): 3,400 common shares granted and fully vested immediately. This raised Vieser’s directly held stock from 17,759 to 21,159 shares.
• Employee Stock Options: 6,400 options with a $5.00 exercise price and 07/03/2035 expiry. One-twelfth vests each month; any unvested balance vests immediately before the 2026 annual meeting.
• Total beneficial ownership after the grant: 21,159 shares held directly, 2,100 shares held indirectly through children, and 13,503 shares held indirectly via Brushwood LLC where Vieser is Manager.

The awards were issued at $0.00 cost for the RSUs and standard option pricing for the options, indicating compensation rather than an open-market purchase. While the absolute numbers are modest relative to typical public-company share counts, the filing shows continued equity-based alignment between the director and shareholders.
